Which Should You Buy?
A statement leather fragrance that exudes power, luxury and intrigue. The raspberry opens with brightness but quickly yields to an opulent, smoky, animalic leather core that commands attention. Not for the faint of heart.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a boozy, spicy plum-leather dream; for others, a cloying mess akin to 'firewater in a hot car with leather seats'. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The bold combination of leather, smoky resins, rich suede and warm spices makes this ideal for fall and winter, while its sweet fruity opening gives some lift for spring. The opulence and power can overwhelm in summer heat.
Occasions
Its striking projection, richness and leathery darkness suit formal settings and night outs, but can be too commanding for office or daytime casual use. The smooth sweet-fruity side adds a seductive edge for dates.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and rich, boozy-leather profile make it too intense for the office. It's a fantastic choice for dates and formal events, though, where its sensual and sophisticated character can shine. It's a bit much for casual wear, except perhaps in very cold weather.
