Which Should You Buy?
Overture Man is divisive, a complex beast of boozy spice and raw animalics. Not for the faint-hearted or those seeking broad appeal, it's a bold statement for the confident and the connoisseur.
Serge Lutens returns to form with La Nuit Tombée! It's a dark, smoky, and sophisticated woody incense, but be warned: some find the longevity a let-down.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique, challenging profile, with strong spicy and animalic notes, make it unsuitable for office or sport. However, its complex, boozy, and luxurious character lends itself to special date nights and formal events, though some find it too intense for even these.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent. The smouldering incense, warm spice, and labdanum-leather base read thick and contemplative on cool skin, placing it firmly in autumn and winter; a minority of wearers find the smoothness wearable in warmer weather.
Occasions
Its dark, smoky incense character and intimate-to-moderate sillage make it a poor sport or bright-daytime pick but a strong choice for date nights and formal cool-weather evenings, with casual winter wear viable thanks to its close-to-skin softness. Several reviewers note it settles quickly to a skin scent, so it is unobtrusive enough for a quiet office.
