Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Azal Eau de Parfum
Al Azal is a polarising leather scent that divides opinion sharply; some find it a unique, sweet leather gem worth every penny, while others are put off by a raw, almost 'rancid' leather note. You'll either love it or hate it, but for the price, it's a gamble some are willing to take.

Our Verdict - Noir Obscur Eau de Parfum
Noir Obscur is a divisive one. Some find its dark, boozy warmth utterly captivating, a vintage-styled dream. Others, however, are left underwhelmed by its subtlety, calling it flat or too quiet. It's a love-it-or-leave-it scent for those who appreciate nuanced darkness.

Its bold leather and spicy profile make it less suitable for an office setting, though some reviews suggest it can work for the confident wearer. It excels in date and formal situations due to its sophisticated, intriguing character, but is perhaps too heavy for sport.
