What do reviewers say about Watani Noir and Bois du Portugal?
It divides people the way good leather should, some find it too much, others find it just enough. That edge is the point. Watani Noir doesn't soften for you. If you want safe, look elsewhere.Watani Noir
Bois du Portugal has been holding its own since 1987 without chasing trends. That restraint is precisely what makes it work. This is not a safe choice in the way that a mass-market freshie is safe;.Bois du Portugal
