I’m a leather fanatic, but not in this style. I expected the 007 Aston Martin to smell less dirty. Instead of the impeccable interior of a DB9, it reminds me of a 90s Crown Victoria taxi in NY where the driver hadn’t showered, the leather seats were abused, dusty, and had a penetrating sweaty smell I recall with disgust. Puredistance M transports me there. I respect those who like it, but I think there are better alternatives, and spending $200 to smell like old, sweaty leather and other things isn’t for the crazy ones.

Respect to Roja Dove: this is an incomparable aged leather, like buying extra-aged Jack Daniel’s at half price. If you’re hunting for that dirty, sweaty, Russian leather vibe, there are formidable options around $100, or better yet, buy a used vintage leather jacket that already has body scent (half-joke, but true). Among Gucci Guilty Absolute, the old Hermès Bel Ami, or even the reformulated Polo Green, you’ll find animalic, dirty leathers that sometimes surprise young girls into liking them. If you come from vintage leather, the pine and dry tobacco notes here work, but if you’re saving for liquor, jacket repairs, and paying off debts, few old, cheap leathers like Avon’s Leather Cologne for $10 or $15 will convince you.

@Dr No, I usually don’t get into debates, but I’ll tell you honestly: what’s uncomfortable isn’t the price, but that untasteful, pseudo-superior attitude that becomes unhealthy, losing irony to fall into misplaced snobbery and classism. Here, sensations and emotions are shared, regardless of wallet size. Surely this M will be the eighth wonder that makes you travel to another dimension just by smelling it, but in my humble case, I’ll stick to sniffing massive vintage leathers like Fahrenheit, Fendi, Tussardi Uomo, and Phileas. These are truly works of art. Cheers.

I haven’t smelled it yet, but I have no doubt it’s incredible in quality and presentation. But seriously, is $190 for 17.5 ml a joke? O_O Oh wait… it’s by Roja Dove. It’s funny that some people think this is a ‘moderate price’ now that you can judge value solely by cost.

This is my favorite Puredistance perfume and one of my favorites overall. A bomb of spicy and sweet leather! Underneath that leather, a resinous and balsamic base starring labdanum and maybe frankincense? Amber?… The vetiver and moss give it a high creaminess. It’s very similar to Valentino Uomo Intense, but with the subtle floral touch of the EDP version of Givenchy Gentleman. That said, with much better quality. The performance is brutal, among the best tested: hours and hours of lasting power with continuous presence. Unisex, though with a masculine edge. For night and cold climates. Scent: 10, Longevity: 9, Projection: 8.5, Value: 6, Versatility: 6, Originality: 8, Overall: 10.

This is my favorite Puredistance fragrance and one of my all-time favorites. A spicy, sweet leather bomb! Beneath that leather lies a resinous, balsamic base featuring labdanum and maybe myrrh or amber? The vetiver and moss give it a high creaminess. It’s very similar to Valentino Uomo Intense, but with the subtle floral touch of the EDP version of Givenchy’s Gentleman. That said, with much better quality. The performance is brutal, among the best I’ve tested: hours and hours of lasting power with continuous presence. Unisex, though leaning masculine. Perfect for night and cold weather.

It’s a lethal fragrance, honestly one of the best I’ve ever smelled for men: sexy, hot, seductive, and special. Inspired by Bel Ami by Hermès without a doubt, but with outstanding quality. Citrus opening, but soon the spices emerge; the leather is a masterpiece, a scent of cinnamon and spiced leather with many nuances and spectacular performance. The price is high, but what price would you put on an Aston Martin?
