Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and distinctive, Manege Blanche lands with a thud rather than a gentle whisper. Expect an unusual metallic-woody punch that some will love and others will simply find too much.
This is a seriously opulent wear that oozes luxury and gets noticed. Some find it a mindblowing masterpiece, while others are left cold by its strong leather and cedar. Definitely not a safe blind buy, and be warned - apparent reformulations have caused a stir among fans.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.
Occasions
Its strong projection and unique, heavy accords make it unsuitable for an office environment, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. The prominent woody and musky notes, combined with decent performance, suit cooler evenings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its 'monster sillage' and long-lasting nature, Flame of Gold is too intense for office wear, though it would shine on a date or at a formal event. Its rich, enveloping accords are more suited for cooler weather and dressier occasions than casual or sport.
