Which Should You Buy?
Aldebaran is Quentin Bisch at his most polarising: a love-it-or-hate-it tuberose that redefines the genre. It's weird, challenging, and frankly unforgettable, a beast with serious projection that will turn heads - for better or worse.
This one's a proper journey, not a sprint. Smoked Sugar hits you with an initial boozy wallop, then settles into something intriguing and gourmand. It's got layers, and it might just be a slow burn for some, but worth the wait.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its beastly sillage and unique, often challenging, profile make Aldebaran wholly unsuitable for office or sport. It's better reserved for more relaxed casual settings or bold date nights where its distinctive character can shine without overwhelming.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its distinctive gourmand and tobacco profile makes it less suitable for formal or office settings, where it might be too distracting. It truly shines on a date or for casual wear, allowing its unique evolution to be appreciated close-up without being overpowering in public.
