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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Light Wood EDP
Light Wood targets SoOud's Nur - the powdery oriental amber with its herbal incense opening and orris-leather-vanilla drydown. The dupe captures the amber-and-powder heart but renders it flatter, with the sophisticated dry-down simplified and the leather softened, sitting closer to the skin than the well-projecting original.

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'.

Light Wood

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The powdery amber, incense and leather are richest in cool autumn and winter air where the warmth reads cosy and enveloping.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

A refined, sensual amber oriental suited to evenings, dates and dressier occasions rather than daytime sport.
