Our verdict on Rare Carbon: Acquired

This is a seriously polarising leather beast. Some say it's a dead ringer for Ombre Leather, others say it's a hot mess. Expect a powerful, somewhat rough-around-the-edges leather floral that demands attention, but be prepared for some sniffers to recoil. A true budget banger for those who love bold leather.

Its strong projection and dominant leather accord make it a bit much for the office. It's much better suited to evening wear, like dates or formal events, where its bold character can shine without overwhelming those around you.

About

Imagine a brand new leather jacket, given a good spritz of violet and a dusting of nutmeg. Rare Carbon opens with a punchy, almost animalic leather, softened by powdery violet and a subtle kiss of spiced sweetness. As it dries, a woody backbone of vetiver and sandalwood emerges, wrapped in warm amber, grounding the initial floral-leather assault into a confident, long-lasting aroma.
