Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Maahir Black Edition EDP
Seriously divisive - some call it a masterpiece, others pure unadulterated stink. Expect to either love this beastly, smoky leather scent or hate it with every fibre of your being. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but remarkable value for those it clicks with.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Aoud Leather EDP
Aoud Leather from Montale is a beast-mode, divisive scent. You'll either love this bold, refined leather with oud and citrus or find it too harsh and synthetic. Definitely sample before committing.
