Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, causing a stir with its divisive opening that smells suspiciously like weed. If you're game for something rebellious and complex that evolves beautifully, Vertus Narcos'is is an addictive masterpiece, but be warned: it's not for the faint-hearted.
This one is a divisive little number. Some get a fresh, effervescent fruit cocktail, perfect for a pick-me-up. Others, however, are left with a heavy, woody mystery they'd rather forget. It's a gamble, but potentially a cheap thrill.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique character, particularly the 'weed' note, make it unsuitable for most office environments. However, its bold and sensual aura, with excellent longevity, makes it a fantastic choice for dates and social gatherings where you want to stand out.
Seasons
Occasions
Its fresh and light nature, as described by many, makes it highly suitable for casual and sport settings, as well as office wear where a non-intrusive scent is preferred. The fruity and fresh spicy accords preclude it from being a strong choice for formal events, and its sometimes 'soft' sillage doesn't scream 'date night' for everyone.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Fresh Spicy, Warm Spicy accords and Amber, Cardamom notes
