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 - L’Air du Désert Marocain Noir Extrait

This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a profound, darker evolution of a classic, while others are left scratching their heads, wondering if the hefty price tag and camphoraceous tweaks are truly worth it. It’s certainly a conversation starter, if not a crowd-pleaser.

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.

L’Air du Désert Marocain Noir Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent, long-lasting, and room-filling projection makes it too overwhelming for the office, as noted by community members. However, its sophisticated and intense character, with woody and amber accords, lends itself well to date nights, formal events, and cooler casual settings where impact is desired.
