Which Should You Buy?
BDK Crème de Cuir is a wildly divisive scent, adored by some for its unique take on leather and dismissed by others as too boring or even unpleasant. It's an understated, creamy blend that defies expectations, proving you either get it or you don't. Love it or hate it, it's certainly not a crowd-pleaser.
This one's a proper head-scratcher and polarising as hell. Some rave about its unique gourmand-leaning blend, whilst others just want to bin it. Don't blind buy; you'll either love its creamy orange dreamsicle vibe or hate its odd, rubbery mishmash of notes.
