Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Italian Leather Eau de Parfum

Italian Leather is a divisive beast, but a masterful one. It's eccentric, unique, and for those who 'get' it, deeply alluring. The tomato leaf note is a deal-breaker for some, a signature for others.

Acquired

Our Verdict - of the Missions Cologne

A legendary, warm vanilla with a cult following and a tragic discontinuation story. Widely praised as a natural, boozy vanilla extract, it's adored for its comforting, sophisticated aroma-if you can still find it for a decent price. Often described as a 'masterpiece'.

Season and Occasion Fit

Italian Leather Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong projection and unique, potentially polarising, tomato leaf note make it less suitable for a confined office. However, its sophisticated and sensual character, combined with excellent longevity, makes it a prime candidate for dates and evening formal events. It's a bit too rich for casual daily wear, as many mentioned it's not a 'daily driver'.

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its intimate sillage and comforting vanilla make it perfect for casual wear and dates. While its 'cologne' label suggests lightness, some find it too sweet or present for a high-formality office, but it's generally versatile enough for most settings where close contact is appreciated.
