Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opus VII – Reckless Leather
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it punch to the senses. This one's an acquired taste, divisive as they come, and unapologetically bold. If you can handle the intensity, you're in for a complex, masterful journey.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Inara Black
This one's a divisive leather scent. Don't expect a Tuscan Leather clone - this is its own beast. Some will find it a compelling, interesting wear; others will be scrubbing it off immediately. Definitely sample before you buy.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

With its powerful projection and challenging, heavy spice and animalic accords, this is utterly unsuitable for an office or casual daytime wear. It's best reserved for formal evening occasions or intimate date nights where its luxurious and bold nature can shine without overwhelming.

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong leather and animalic accords, Inara Black is a bit too bold for a typical office environment. It shines brighter on dates or formal events, where its unique character can truly be appreciated. While some reviewers found its projection weaker, the scent profile itself is geared towards evening wear.
