Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Noir EDP
A smooth, classy leather-vanilla blend that's almost universally loved for its refined scent, but bitterly divisive when it comes to performance. If you want subtle elegance, you'll adore it; if you want a powerhouse, you'll be seriously disappointed by its fleeting nature.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Iceberg Twice Gold EDT
This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some reckon it's a solid, cheap leather-vanilla blend in the vein of Tom Ford, whilst others are convinced it's a cheap One Million knock-off. If you fancy a divisive, warm leather for a steal, give it a go.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cuir Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The sophisticated leather, vanilla, and oud blend makes it excellent for date nights and formal events, lending an air of refinement. Its subdued projection, while a point of contention for some, actually makes it suitable for office wear where discretion is key, and it works well for classy casual winter outings. It's far too elegant and not suited for sport.

Iceberg Twice Gold

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its warm, leathery character and moderate projection make it a poor fit for the office or sports. This scent truly shines on a date or for casual evening wear, where its sensual, bold nature can be appreciated without being overwhelming.
