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 - Raffaello
This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it an absolute masterpiece, others say it’ll drive you to jump off a bridge. It’s got a strong presence, so sampling is essential unless you fancy a dramatic gamble.

Season and Occasion Fit

Kill The Lights

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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.

Raffaello

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Raffaello is too assertive for office wear. Its complex, sophisticated nature and the general impression of 'regal' or 'well-dressed' align it better with formal events and confident date nights, while being a bit much for casual sports.
