Which Should You Buy?
If a sophisticated suede handbag could wear perfume, it would be this. A soft, elegant leather that's less beast, more beauty, perfect for those who want their leather subtle but still undeniably present.
A seriously sophisticated woody-spicy fragrance that's a dead ringer for Creed Royal Oud for many, though its subtle projection means Houbigant has nailed 'quiet luxury' with this one. Some find the performance lacklustre, but the scent itself is pretty much universally adored.
