Noir Kogane EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, potent, and a total steal for its price point. Ignore the 'Happy' in the name, this oud-leather beast is for those who like to make an entrance. It's not a blind buy unless you live for bold, Middle Eastern-inspired scents.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.
Occasions
Given its strong oud and leather accords, this is too assertive for most office environments, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear unless you're feeling particularly bold, and definitely not for sport.
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.
