Which Should You Buy?
Al Qiam Gold is not for the faint of heart; a beast-mode, divisive leather and oud bomb that demands confidence. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions - but if you're into that dark, intense vibe, you'll adore it.
Boxeuses is a subtly elegant leather creation, though many find its projection too restrained for Serge Lutens. It's a gorgeous plum-leather marriage for those who appreciate understated artistry, but don't expect a powerhouse.
