Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir EDP
This one's proper divisive, a real love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Some reckon it's a unique smoky leather dream, others get pure BBQ sauce or burnt bandages. Sample first, unless you fancy smelling like a meat feast or a medical mishap.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cuir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, often smoky and animalic character, coupled with reports of strong projection (or conversely, poor longevity), makes it less suited for professional or active settings. However, its unique and intriguing profile lends itself well to date nights or casual wear when you want to stand out.

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.
