Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sellier EDP
Prepare for deja vu, because Byredo Sellier is basically Santal 33's edgy, leather-clad sibling. It's a divisive one - some adore its sophisticated, smoky depth, others find it shockingly similar to its famous cousin, often for a much higher price tag. Not a safe blind buy, but if you want to be the 'King of Assholes,' fill your boots.

Our Verdict - Russian Leather EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a bold, smoky leather that's either a sophisticated dream or an ash-tray nightmare. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its distinctive, rugged masculinity.

Season and Occasion Fit

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong, smoky leather profile and often reported good longevity and sillage for a Byredo, Sellier might be too imposing for the office. It truly shines in evening settings, be it a sophisticated date or a formal event, where its luxurious warmth can make a statement. Some reviews indicate casual winter wear, but its intensity limits versatility.

Russian Leather

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold and smoky nature, noted by many reviewers as overtly masculine and intense, makes it less ideal for a typical office environment. However, its sophisticated and rich leather-tobacco character is perfect for a date night or formal event, offering a mysterious and alluring presence, especially in colder weather. It's a bit too heavy for casual daytime wear and completely unsuitable for sport.
