Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kenzo Homme Boisee Eau de Toilette

A tragically discontinued gem, this is a fresh, green-leaning vetiver that offers cool versatility. It's unique without being polarising, managing to be both invigorating and relaxing, though some find its performance a bit shy.

Our Verdict - Russian Leather Eau de Parfum

Don't be fooled by the name - this ain't your grandad's 'Russian Leather'. It's a 'frozen fougère' that captures a cold, piney forest wonderfully, but its subtle leather accord and barbershop vibe means it's not punching above its weight in the leather category. A divisive one, with performance niggles.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean, and sometimes shy sillage makes it ideal for office and casual wear. While not overly formal, its versatile nature means it can suit a date, particularly in warmer months. It can easily accompany light activity, but might get lost in more intense situations.

Russian Leather Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its generally subdued performance and fresh, clean barbershop feel make it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. The sophisticated, cool aura also works for informal dates, but it may lack the gravitas required for formal events and is too subtle for active sport.
