Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aali Almaqam

This one is a divisive take on a popular scent profile. If you're after that bergamot-leather combination at a good price, without the birch tar of the big boys, this could be your jam. It's not subtle, so brace yourself for impact.

Statement

Our Verdict - Cuir Noir

This one's a proper grown-up leather, sophisticated and a bit moody. It's not for the faint of heart - expect a confident swagger, not a shy whisper. A genuine stunner if you fancy turning heads.

Also Works:

Its potent aromatic and leathery accords, as highlighted by a review, suggest a commanding presence. This makes it less suitable for a quiet office, but acceptable for casual outings or dates where you want to make an impression.

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold leather and woody accords, combined with a noticeable sillage, make it perhaps too strong for a conservative office environment. However, this same intensity lends itself perfectly to date nights and formal events where making an impression is key.
