Which Should You Buy?
Serge Noire is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a challenging opening that veers into body odour territory for some, but if you can push through, it transforms into an incredibly deep, sexy, and artistic blend of dark spices and woods. Definitely not a blind buy.
This isn't just 'Manly' by name; it's a bold, resinous statement that radiates confidence. Expect a warm wood and amber embrace that's undeniably direct and sophisticated.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The explosive clove-cinnamon spice over a smoky incense and resinous woody drydown reads heaviest in winter, the anchor season, with autumn a close extension. The heat and density keep it well off the spring and summer shelves.
Occasions
A pushy, artistic statement scent with strong projection suits date nights and formal cool-weather evenings where presence is welcome. The challenging, near-savoury opening makes it a poor office or sport choice.
Seasons
Built on woody, amber and warm spicy - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its rich, resinous woody projection makes it too assertive for a quiet office, but it shines on dates and formal occasions. The warmth of the amber and wood perfectly suits cooler weather and sophisticated evening wear.
