Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Cannage
This is simply one of the best leather fragrances out there, a rich, complex scent that's been tragically discontinued. Owners love it, and if you can snag a bottle, prepare for an absolute masterpiece that'll turn heads and leave a lasting impression.

Our Verdict - Valbonne
A divisive scent from Molton Brown, Valbonne tantalises with a unique floral-leather opening that quickly fades into a lacklustre dry-down. For those who appreciate its early charm, the fleeting performance is a real shame.
