Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Diaghilev EDP
This is a masterpiece that smells like old money - if that money’s been rolled in civet. It’s an opulent, animalic chypre that people either adore for its undeniable quality or recoil from as 'old lady' perfume. Don't go near it if you're expecting modern mass appeal, but truly exceptional if you're ready for its vintage gravitas.

Our Verdict - Desert EDP
This one's a bit of a blind-buy gamble. If you like your scents old-school, woody, and with a pronounced floral kick, it might be your desert island choice. Otherwise, you might find it a bit much.

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Autumn

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

The strong woody and animalic accords, coupled with a dominant orange blossom, make this a powerful fragrance that might overwhelm in an office setting. It's better suited for formal events or a confident date night wear, where its strong projection can shine.
