Which Should You Buy?
A potent, polarising oud-iris bomb that some hail as a hidden gem, others as overwhelmingly cloying. It's not for the faint of heart, delivering killer performance and an intense, masculine aura often compared to Dior Homme Parfum.
Soft Timber chases the popular Cashmere Wood accord - the soft, cuddly fruity-floral built on berries, peony and that warm musky-woody cashmeran drydown. The dupe captures the cosy berry-and-cashmere character but renders it flatter and sweeter, sitting close to the skin where the cashmeran base usually lends real tenacity.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
This fragrance is an absolute beast in terms of performance, with reviews noting killer projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting. Its rich, dark, and sophisticated profile, with prominent oud and iris, leans heavily towards formal events or intimate date nights, where its powerful sillage can leave a lasting impression.
Seasons
The soft berry-floral and warm cashmere wood work across spring and the cooler seasons where the sweetness reads cosy rather than heavy.
Occasions
A cuddly, comforting fruity-floral suited to casual days, daily wear and date nights rather than formal events.
