Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Composition Nine EDP
Composition Nine takes on Amouage's discontinued Opus IX, that polarising, opulent jasmine-and-civet floral. Perfume Parlour captures the indolic jasmine and waxy-leather body well, with owners citing high similarity, though it leans sweeter and slightly less raw than the original's full-throated animalic drama.

Our Verdict - Platinum Leather EDP
Divisive, unique, and utterly captivating, Platinum Leather isn't your average hide. It's a complex, intriguing scent that, for those who love it, borders on obsession, but for others, it's just not quite right.

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its strong projection and excellent longevity, this fragrance is perhaps too assertive for a quiet office, though its refined character makes it suitable for formal settings. It truly shines on a date, exuding a seductive yet sophisticated aura, and performs best in cooler weather.
