Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Italian Leather EDP

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.

Our Verdict - Oud Éclat EDP

This is a seriously divisive scent. Some find it a sophisticated, sweeter take on the popular BR540 DNA, while others are repulsed by an overpowering, photorealistic cigarette ash note. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Italian Leather

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'.

Oud Éclat

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold, sweet, and smoky character, with good projection, makes it too assertive for office wear. However, its sophisticated and sensual aura is perfect for intimate dates and formal evening events.
