What a bummer on PHI. I actually didn't find it too bad, but haven't worn it for years either.
Today I went with Joop Homme Wild, which is becoming another favourite of mine.
So annoying, a week ago I put a Kevlaar strap in this beauty and whilst doing so, decided to change the springbars to better quality ones. Today I decided to put the bracelet back on and the springbars are too thick to fit through the hole (that's what she said). I threw away the old ones, now I have to wait and get new ones once I have moved house.
Hi, I am actually going to Frankfurt for a month tomorrow. I used to live there back in the day.
Here is a link to get things rolling.

Awesome review bro, you're right about layering the successful flankers with Tuscan Leather and such likes for a proper cuir experience.
I don't get much leather in Pure Leather, but I don't fully dislike the main fragrance either. But I just won't wear it that much. I am just in the mood for smokier, boozier and woodier scents.
Agreed, Aventus is stunning.
The others that I could wear with a smile is Tabarome (not the vintage one), Spice and Wood and most definitely Jardin d'Amalfi.
Noir de Noir and TF Noir have nothing in common tbh.
TF Noir is a boring release - a let-down.
Noir de Noir on the other hand, as PhilFree also mentioned, is a Rose fragrance, a boozy dark rose with elements of oud and some even get a dark chocolate accord. It is truly stunning and probably the most unique in his range. I often layer Tuscan Leather with Noir de Noir for added balance.
