Which Should You Buy?
This Dominique Ropion creation divides opinion sharply, with some reviling its 'burnt rubber' opening, while others are utterly seduced by its smoky, sexy vanilla dry-down. If you can push through the rough start, you're in for a complex, masterful vanilla that smells far more expensive than it is. Prepare for compliments.
This one is a divisive beauty. Some find it a masterful blend of dark plum and rich warmth, while others are baffled by the 'leather' in its name, getting only a cloying sweetness or an off-putting mustiness. Truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, obsess.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, boozy, and sweet profile, make it unsuitable for office wear. However, these same traits, plus its seductive darkness and mentions in reviews, position it perfectly for cooler weather dates and formal evening events.
