Midnight in Paris is a legendary, much-missed gem that still commands fanatical devotion years after its discontinuation. It's a nuanced, comforting amber-leather dream, though some find it a bit powdery or leaning feminine. A few even reckon it's nothing special, but they're very much in the minority. If you can find it for a decent price, snap it up.

This one's a proper winter warmer, a beast of a scent that most agree is a dead ringer for SWY Leather, but with its own smoky, sexy swagger. It's a crowd-pleaser that punches well above its weight, delivering exceptional value.
