Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Imperial
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its luxurious leather shop vibe, finding it unique and comforting. Others find it harsh, loud, and dominated by a sour, petrol-like leather that obliterates all other notes. Definitely test before you commit.

Our Verdict - Moccus
This one is a true cult favourite, inspiring a devotion you rarely see. A complex, earthy gourmand for those who appreciate a fragrance with real narrative and emotional depth. It makes an impression and leaves a mark.
