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.
If a sophisticated suede handbag could wear perfume, it would be this. A soft, elegant leather that's less beast, more beauty, perfect for those who want their leather subtle but still undeniably present.

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.
