Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Memoir Man EDP
Memoir Man is a deeply divisive blend of gothic green and smoky leather, with its once-legendary performance now a mere memory. Expect a unique, artistic scent that's either a mysterious masterpiece or a watery disappointment, depending on the batch and your luck.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Russe Leather EDP
This is a seriously masculine, green leather crowd-pleaser that's an absolute steal for the price. While some find it a touch generic or a bit too much, most agree it's a solid, old-school charmer that punches well above its weight.
