Which Should You Buy?
This one's a head-turner, no doubt. African Leather is a captivating spicy-leather that manages to be both distinctive and broadly appealing, if you can get past the price and potential batch variations.
This one's a passionate affair, not a casual fling. Criminal of Love is a dark, sensual rose-tobacco blend that polarises with its intensity. While some find it an intoxicating masterpiece, others are put off by its 'medicinal' opening. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or for the office, apparently.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
With its strong projection and noticeable sillage, African Leather might be a bit much for a conservative office, but reviewers often wear it there, suggesting moderate application. Its unique blend of spicy leather makes it a fantastic choice for dates and formal events, though perhaps too refined for casual wear during the day.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and overtly sensual nature, this scent is entirely unsuitable for the office, as many reviewers agree. It shines brightest on dates or for special evening occasions where its captivating, dark intensity can truly be appreciated, making it a poor choice for casual wear or sport.
