Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - African Leather EDP
This one's a head-turner, no doubt. African Leather is a captivating spicy-leather that manages to be both distinctive and broadly appealing, if you can get past the price and potential batch variations.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Card Rawhides II EDP
Card Rawhides II copies Tom Ford's Ombre Leather (2018) - the same clean, dry leather softened with jasmine over an amber-moss-patchouli base. The budget version captures the modern leather shape but reads flatter and less rich, with shorter staying power than the strong-projecting original.

With its strong projection and noticeable sillage, African Leather might be a bit much for a conservative office, but reviewers often wear it there, suggesting moderate application. Its unique blend of spicy leather makes it a fantastic choice for dates and formal events, though perhaps too refined for casual wear during the day.
