Smoky wood, camphorous mint, and some spice. The resemblance to Tiger Balm is apparent but Esprit du Tigre is softer, smoother, and altogether more wearable. However, it's not something that I...

The lemony opening reminds me of old people. - it's not unpleasant and smells fresh and clean but I just can't past the smell of the beige bowls club brigade. After a while the vetiver comes...

Creed Royal English Leather - it's addictively good stuff.

Two of my favourite fragrances, and both are in my current 'micro-wardrobe' of ten bottles.

Not sure that they're strictly comparable - when I think of Royal English Leather, I think of Knize Ten and Chanel's Cuir de Russie as its competitors.

Royal English Leather gets my vote.

Comparing the generic short story of REL to the mystery and multiple transformative plots of Roudnitska's Eau d'Hermes is a little ridiculous.

Eau d'Hermes.

REL is good stuff (compared to other Creeds) but don´t even comes close to the sublimity of Eau d´Hermès, IMO...

Leather or not, they're too diverse to meaningfully compare. No doubt Roudnitska's is by far the greater perfume, but there's a very special place in my heart for REL. Happily, there's no need for having to choose.
