Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Suede et Safran Extrait
This is a leather fragrance you'll either love or think smells like pickle juice and weed. A divisive scent profile that goes heavy on the saffron, often compared to Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather but with a Nishane twist. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' swear by its luxurious, beast-mode performance.

Our Verdict - Cuir Saddle EDT
Dior Cuir Saddle: a divisive scent that's either a masterful, soft leather or a muddled synth mess. Expect strong opinions, passionate defenders, and equally passionate detractors. Don't blind buy, this one is not for everyone.
