Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Infrarouge Extrait
This raspberry leather-oud hybrid is a properly divisive beast. Some find it a sophisticated, juicy leather dream, others a harsh, synthetic nightmare. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it are absolutely obsessed.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Paramour Eau de Parfum
A smooth, sweet leather that’s much softer than its cousins. Paramour is an approachable gourmand leather with mass appeal, perfect if you want something less aggressive than the usual suspects.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cuir Infrarouge Extrait

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong, distinctive scent profile, this is definitely not an office-friendly fragrance. It shines brightest on dates or formal evening events where its bold and sensual character can truly stand out, though some find it a bit much even for a casual night out.

Paramour Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While it can be a 'beast' on projection, its softer, smoother leather profile makes it more versatile than sharper leather scents. It shines on dates and formal evenings, but is too prominent for daily office wear and certainly not for sport.
