Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bel Ami Vetiver Eau de Parfum

This is a grown-up, sophisticated leather-vetiver that's a stunning modern classic, even if it might lean a little 'sexy grandpa' for some. Definitely one to try before you buy, but if it clicks, it's an absolute steal for the quality.

Our Verdict - Dark Rebel Rider Eau de Parfum

This is a seriously dark, smoky leather fragrance - a love-it-or-hate-it scent for the 'bad boy' image, though its dismal performance means it's often a personal pleasure rather than a public statement.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its strong, dark leather and resinous character make it less suitable for office or very formal settings, but perfect for dates and casual evenings out. The frequently cited poor projection and longevity mean it often becomes a skin scent, making it more personal than impactful for public events.
