Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued 70s treasure is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find its complex, animalic chypre character utterly captivating, a truly classic scent that commands attention. Others are put off by its challenging green and civet notes, finding it a bit too much for modern tastes.
This one is a seriously divisive piece of kit. You'll either get a gorgeous, potent blast of old-school class, or it'll smell like an elderly relative's bathroom. Love-it-or-hate-it, but if you love it, you'll love it hard for its unique character.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its bold, long-lasting projection makes it a bit much for the office. However, the rich, sophisticated notes and animalic undertones make it fantastic for dates and formal events, though some find it a bit too old-school for everyday casual wear.
