Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Or Black Eau de Toilette

A brooding, vintage chypre-leather that radiates gravitas and complexity far above its budget price. Not for the faint of heart, Or Black is a moody, mossy statement piece for those who appreciate the old school.

Our Verdict - Black Leather Eau de Parfum

A smooth, wearable leather that's a crowd-pleaser for those who usually find leather fragrances too harsh. It's often compared to more intense offerings but delivers a softer, more nuanced experience that's well-loved for its subtle sophistication, though some find it lacks boldness.
