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 - Ciel D'Orage
A truly evocative, woody experience that's both challenging and captivating. It's a proper grown-up scent, best suited for those who appreciate a journey into the deeper, greener side of perfumery, though some might find its potency a bit much.
