Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir
This one's proper divisive, a real love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Some reckon it's a unique smoky leather dream, others get pure BBQ sauce or burnt bandages. Sample first, unless you fancy smelling like a meat feast or a medical mishap.
Statement
Our Verdict - Purple Suede
This one is a total boss, a smooth operator that’s surprisingly versatile. While some find the leather a bit much, most agree it’s an elegant, long-lasting scent that smells like money and confidence. Definitely not one to fly under the radar.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, often smoky and animalic character, coupled with reports of strong projection (or conversely, poor longevity), makes it less suited for professional or active settings. However, its unique and intriguing profile lends itself well to date nights or casual wear when you want to stand out.

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions
