Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, powerful, and unapologetically masculine, Noir Kogane isn't for the faint of heart. Expect a beastly leather that polarises opinion, but those in its thrall consider it a masterpiece of dark luxury.
A budget take on Armani Prive's Noir Kogane. Golden Noir captures the deep, spicy-leather character, tobacco and vetiver over saffron, elemi and a rich leather base, that defines the niche original, but Perfume Parlour's version reads flatter and tamer, missing the intensely animalic, beast-mode opening of the original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This is a strong, projecting fragrance, making it a poor choice for the office. Its dark, luxurious leather and tobacco profile, coupled with its intensity, make it ideal for date nights and formal events, or any occasion where you want to make a powerful statement. It's too heavy for casual wear or sport.
Seasons
The spicy leather, tobacco and saffron are dark and warm, made for cold-weather autumn and winter wear.
Occasions
Its bold, masculine-leaning depth leans toward evenings, formal occasions and dates rather than the office or sport.
