Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive gem. You'll either adore its bold, moody nature or find it a bit too much. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a true night-time statement.
Estee Lauder's 2013 Middle-East-courtship release after Wood Mystique: a deep amber-rose-oud-incense composition with a raspberry-pink-pepper lift on top. Frequently compared to Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady at half the price - and now discontinued, so increasingly sought after.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense character make it unsuitable for office wear or casual daytime use. This is a scent for making an impression, best suited for evening dates or commanding attention at formal events.
Seasons
Dense amber-rose-oud-incense with a labdanum-patchouli base is firmly cool-weather territory; community season votes overwhelmingly favour winter, with fall close behind. Summer and warm spring are too hot for the density.
Occasions
An opulent evening rose-oud reads best for date nights, formal dinners and statement occasions. Office wear is risky given the projection; casual contexts feel underdressed for the perfume rather than the other way around. Sport is a non-starter.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Rose, Oud accords and Blackcurrant, Oud notes
