Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aberdeen Lavender EDP
This one's a divisive affair for a reason. You'll either love this sophisticated, herbal lavender or recoil from what some call 'medicinal foot powder'. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but a quiet, complex gem for those who get it.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Noir Extreme EDP
De Leon's Noir Extreme is a sophisticated beast, a divisive scent that's loved for its bold, animalic leather but not for the faint of heart. It definitely stands out, but be prepared for strong reactions both ways.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aberdeen Lavender

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate projection and generally calming, refined character make it suitable for office and casual wear. The herbal, slightly 'old-school' feel and lack of traditional 'sexy' notes might limit its appeal for dates, while its subtlety is less suited for formal events or sport.

Noir Extreme

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its bold, heavy leather and animalic accords make it unsuitable for an office setting or casual wear, where it might overwhelm. It excels on a date or formal occasion where its strong, luxurious character can truly shine.
