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 - Apuldre

A divisive scent for sure: some find Apuldre safe and familiar, while others are captivated by its unique, savoury green edge. If you like your green scents with a curious, almost pickled twist, this one's for you.

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.

Apuldre

Seasons

Best For:

Summer Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - summer and winter pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

While its longevity and sillage are noted as decent by some, it doesn't shout too loudly, making it acceptable for office wear. The unique aromatic and leather accords give it a distinct edge for dates and casual outings, though it might be a bit too quirky for very formal settings.
