Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Or Black Eau de Toilette

A brooding, vintage chypre-leather that radiates gravitas and complexity far above its budget price. Not for the faint of heart, Or Black is a moody, mossy statement piece for those who appreciate the old school.

Our Verdict - Leather So Rare Eau de Parfum

This isn't just a leather scent, it's a statement. Bold and unapologetic, but maybe not for everyone. If you're after something a bit 'out there' and divisive, this one might be for you - just beware the horseradish brigade.

Season and Occasion Fit

Or Black Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Or Black's resinous, leathery and mossy character is ideal for cooler weather, making it excel in fall and winter. Its aromatic and spicy nuances also make it suitable for brisk spring days, but it can feel heavy for the heat of summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

With moderate projection and a bold, complex profile, Or Black stands out for casual and evening wear, and works for confident date nights or formal events. Its vintage fougere-leather aura is too intense for sports or light situations, but can fit in a refined office setting with discretion.

Also Works:

Casual

The strong, animalic leather and oud accords make this a less suitable choice for the office, where it could be too overpowering. Its bold character is much better suited for evening dates or formal events where you want to make a statement, and it can work for casual wear if applied sparingly.
