Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Russian Leather

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a bold, smoky leather that's either a sophisticated dream or an ash-tray nightmare. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its distinctive, rugged masculinity.

Our Verdict - Kill The Lights

Kill The Lights is a divisive, aggressive leather bomb - you'll either find its animalic, smoky depths intoxicating or utterly repelling. It's not for the faint-hearted, offering a unique, raw experience that stands apart from typical leather scents.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold and smoky nature, noted by many reviewers as overtly masculine and intense, makes it less ideal for a typical office environment. However, its sophisticated and rich leather-tobacco character is perfect for a date night or formal event, offering a mysterious and alluring presence, especially in colder weather. It's a bit too heavy for casual daytime wear and completely unsuitable for sport.

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Its strong, raw leather and smoky accords make it far too intense for office wear. However, its bold and unique character, combined with reported longevity and performance, makes it an excellent choice for dates or evening events where you want to make a statement, even for formal occasions if you dare to be different.
