Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Dark Leather
Dark Leather is a sophisticated, clean leather that manages to be both fresh and smoky. It's a proper grown-up scent, if a touch polarising for some. If you're after a barbershop vibe with actual leather, this is it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Purple Suede

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it less suitable for a typical office environment where it might be too overwhelming. However, its refined and luxurious leather-lavender profile is perfect for formal events and dates, commanding attention without being overtly loud.

Dark Leather

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

While its clean nature makes it acceptable for an office, its confident, bold character is better suited for dates or formal events where it can make a statement. It's too substantial for athletic activities, though some find it versatile enough for year-round wear.
