Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive affair. If you're a Black Afgano fan looking for a softer, more refined sibling, or just after a sophisticated leathery oud, 'Cuirs' might hit the spot. But be warned, some find it a bit ‘meh’ or even unpleasant, so definitely try before you buy.
Divisive and aptly named, yet not for the reasons you'd expect. Forget tropical cocktails; this is a dense, spicy, leathery beast some call a masterpiece, others burnt toast. Try before you buy, it's certainly a conversation starter.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and sophisticated woody-leather profile make it suitable for office wear, though perhaps a bit bold for some workplaces. The sensual leather and oud notes, coupled with decent longevity, make it ideal for dates and formal events. It's a bit too heavy and refined for casual daytime wear or sport.
