Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nostos EDP
Nostos is Etat Libre d'Orange playing it safe, delivering a powerful oud-and-leather scent that’s a dead ringer for many others. It's a love-or-hate affair, with its extreme projection and divisive "burnt rubber" or "hospital" notes polarising opinion.

Our Verdict - Arabians Rose Leather EDP
Arabians Rose Leather is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent. If you're a leather lover, you'll find a sophisticated, sensual embrace. If not, it's probably best avoided - this one is an acquired taste with a proper medicinal kick for some.

Season and Occasion Fit

Nostos

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This fragrance is an absolute beast in terms of longevity and sillage, making it far too overpowering for an office or casual setting. Its rich oud and leather accords are perfectly suited for formal events or a confident date night statement, particularly in colder weather.

Arabians Rose Leather

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Its strong leather and woody accords, combined with moderate projection and a mature feel, make it too assertive for office wear and totally unsuitable for sport. It truly shines on a date or for formal evenings where its sophisticated scent can make an impression.
