What do reviewers say about Russisch Leder and Varon Dandy?
This is Russian leather. Not leather-scented. Not leather-inspired. Russian leather, the tar, the smoke, the birch bark, the whole thing. If you've never smelled it, brace yourself.Russisch Leder
Carnation in a cologne makes people nervous. Good. The spice borders on medicinal, then softens into something you'll keep reaching for. This is a fragrance that doesn't apologize for its boldness.Varon Dandy
