Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ashes Extrait

This one's a proper Gothic romance in a bottle, all dark woods and ancient incense. It's a statement scent, bold and unapologetic, but don't expect it to charm everyone - it's definitely a 'love it or leave it' affair that commands attention.

Our Verdict - Majestic Nard Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive affair, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. While some find its deep, spicy woods captivating and chic, others are repelled by what they perceive as an "ancient medicinal herb" vibe or overtly sweet saffron. Try before you buy, definitely.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ashes Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong projection and remarkable longevity, Ashes is too imposing for an office or casual daytime wear, as community reviews confirm. Its dark, heavy, and sophisticated woody-incense profile makes it far better suited for formal events or intimate evening dates, especially in cooler weather.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its warm, spicy, and woody profile, Majestic Nard is best suited for cooler weather and evening wear. While it's considered by some as an office appropriate formal scent due to its sophisticated smell, its density might be too much for everyday casual wear or sports. Its reported poor projection, despite the rich notes, means it probably won't offend in office but also won't make a big statement.
