Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aoud Leather EDP
Aoud Leather from Montale is a beast-mode, divisive scent. You'll either love this bold, refined leather with oud and citrus or find it too harsh and synthetic. Definitely sample before committing.

Our Verdict - No.659 African Leather Parfum
A spiced leather dupe of Memo Paris's African Leather, leaning on cardamom and saffron over a leather-oud-amber base. Community feedback calls it a close, better-value take, though it renders flatter and fades faster than the niche original.
