Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive affair. Some reckon its a mature, aromatic upgrade to the 212 VIP Black line, praising its restrained leather and herbal twists. Others just find it offensive, an old-fashioned misstep in a fancy bottle. Definitely try before you buy.
Crisp lavender and grapefruit lead into sage and geranium, then settle on leather and vetiver. A sharp, masculine aromatic that moves easily from the office to the night out.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile for evening wear and dates, but the prominent leather and bitter notes may be too bold for everyday casual wear. Some find it suitable for the office due to its more mature profile, while others consider it too 'offensive' for such settings, suggesting it's best reserved for more deliberate occasions.
Seasons
Lavender and grapefruit keep it fresh for spring, while leather and vetiver give it enough weight for autumn.
Occasions
Clean and structured, so it works for the office and evenings alike. It is bold enough to suit going out.
