Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Leather Oud EDP
Leather Oud is a polarising beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that demands confidence and a thick skin. If you can handle its raw, animalic power, it's a masterpiece; if not, you'll be running for the hills.

Season and Occasion Fit

Leather Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it unsuitable for office wear, where it could overwhelm. The bold, sensual nature of the leather and oud accords, coupled with its divisive reputation, leans it towards date nights and special formal occasions, especially in colder weather. It's too intense for casual daytime wear or sport.

Monarch

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its blend of leathery warmth and subtle spice makes it versatile for a range of occasions; however, some report performance issues, meaning it might not be ideal for a long day at the office. The sophisticated, yet slightly playful, nature suits evenings out or more dressed-up casual events. It might be too heavy for sportswear.
