Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Medullary-ray

This is a fiercely divisive beast of a perfume. You're either going to be obsessed with its raw, earthy, and animalic qualities, or you'll find it utterly unwearable. It's a statement, not a crowd-pleaser.

Our Verdict - Irish Leather

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a sophisticated green leather dream, others find it shockingly bad, like horse manure or burnt tyres. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so roll up your sleeves and give it a proper test before committing.

Seasons

Best For:

Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Spring

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and summer pair best.

Occasions

Also Works:

Date Casual

Its potent, unique, and often challenging character makes it unsuitable for the office, as many reviews highlight its 'sweaty' or 'pissy' aspects. While it could work for a bold date or casual wear, its intense woodiness and animalic notes lean away from formal settings.
