Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kill The Lights
Kill The Lights is a divisive, aggressive leather bomb - you'll either find its animalic, smoky depths intoxicating or utterly repelling. It's not for the faint-hearted, offering a unique, raw experience that stands apart from typical leather scents.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Oriental
Marien Oriental opens on pink pepper into a juniper-and-sage heart with amber and smoky leather in the base. A drier, more aromatic-herbal take on the brand's oriental positioning - closer to gin-botanical aromatic than soft amber.

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Its strong, raw leather and smoky accords make it far too intense for office wear. However, its bold and unique character, combined with reported longevity and performance, makes it an excellent choice for dates or evening events where you want to make a statement, even for formal occasions if you dare to be different.

Best For:
Autumn Winter
