Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Russian Leather

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.

Statement

Our Verdict - The Sixth

A divisive scent, many find it beautifully green and calming, while others recoil from its intense herbal character. It's a fresh, modern take on an aromatic, but its poor longevity is a major sticking point for most.

Season and Occasion Fit

Russian Leather

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.

The Sixth

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its herbal-green freshness lends itself well to casual and office wear, promoting a 'clear head' experience. However, the limited projection and poor longevity make it less suitable for formal events or dates where a more lasting impression is desired.
