Sellier vs Ombré Leather (2018)

The r/fragrance community views Sellier very positively as a sophisticated smoky-woody fragrance with impressive longevity, though many acknowledge it as a superior but considerably more expensive alternative to By the Fireplace. The main criticism centers on Byredo's unjustifiable $300+ price tag for what some consider basic minimalist packaging, making it aspirational rather than accessible for most collectors.

The community views Ombré Leather (2018) as a solid, well-performing leather fragrance that earned Fragrantica's Best Men's 2019 award. However, some members question this recognition given it was released in 2018, and overall opinions are mixed regarding whether it truly deserves such acclaim compared to other offerings in the fragrance market.
