Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet adored, Falcon Leather is a beast of a fragrance. If you're after a bold, smoky leather that commands attention, this is your weapon. But be warned: it’s not for the faint of heart, and your mates might love or loathe it.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Falcon Leather's intense sillage and longevity make it overpowering for an office environment, but it's perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. Its bold, smoky leather profile is too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
Seasons
The amber character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its amber, warm spicy signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
