DARK LUXE

Dark Luxe is inspired by Tuscan Leather. It is a unisex scent, so men and women can both wear it.

The opening is unusual: saffron with raspberry, so it smells spicy and a little sweet at the same time. Then comes the leather, with a suede-like softness. The drydown is amber, smoky woods and incense. It lasts 14 to 16 hours on skin.

It’s a strong, dark perfume. We’d keep it for evenings, winter weddings and dinners rather than a hot office. It sits well next to the other warm scents in our winter perfumes for men guide.

Leather scents are a good gift for someone who already owns the usual fresh perfumes. Our perfume gift ideas post has more on choosing for someone else.

A little goes a long way with this one. Spray once on the neck and once on the chest. If it feels too strong in the first ten minutes, give it time. The saffron and raspberry settle down, and the leather and amber become smoother as the day goes on.

This is the 50ml for Rs 2,300. The Dark Luxe 30ml is Rs 1,650. Free delivery across Pakistan with a 7 day exchange.
