Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Saffron Eau de Parfum
A bolder, sexier take on the original, Black Saffron Absolu ramps up the leather for a statement-making scent. While some find it a more versatile upgrade, others miss the original's freshness. This one's for the 'CEO vibes' crowd.

Our Verdict - Jour 11 Eau de Parfum
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, softer take on a familiar leather, while others are left wanting more in terms of originality and longevity. It's a decent enough scent for those who enjoy the style, but don't expect it to blow your socks off.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

While the leather accord suggests a certain formality, its moderate projection and the softer violet and fruity notes make it versatile enough for daily wear. Its lack of extraordinary longevity means it won't overwhelm an office, but it's best suited for dates due to its sensual character.
