OK, at the moment leather is my thing. I'm attracted by both these scents but I won't buy both. Or at least that would be the reasonable thing to do. LM is the more wearable for sure: lush, seductive, equally industrial and oriental: a scent while PdE is more of an olfactory picture for me. It brings in an instance rooms, furniture, leather suitcases, dried flowers. Feels like a place from an old movie, a place I've visited in my dreams.
Which would you choose? On one hand, I don't lack wearable perfumes and I'd more likely reach for Tom of Finland if I want wearable leather, especially when there are warm months coming. On the other hand, buying a 100ml bottle just for one's own appreciation might be too much. I already have Givenchy Gentleman playing similar role in my wardrobe; this 100ml bottle will last forever. I also have Messe de MInuit, standing somewhere in the middle, 'antique' or almost gourmand/oriental, depending on weather.
Ok, my doubts aside. What would you choose?

owdery, woody and rich in florals, I cannot think of my wardrobe without this masterpiece, while it's very (VERY) old fashioned, and classy (I rarely wear a suit...) its evoking power is just incredible, almost like being in an elegant smoking parlour in the late '800s and drinking brandy while admiring a Tissot painting....you have to get them both, sooner or later, no choice.
