Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Larmes du Désert EDP
This one's a divisive one, blending traditional incense and woods with a rather unexpected sweetness. While some rave about its golden, spiritual qualities, others are left scratching their heads, finding it too sweet or strangely fruity. Definitely not a blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Amber, Cedarwood, & Vetiver EDP
A woody-amber base-note blend built around cedar, vetiver and amber. Straightforward and outdoorsy where pricier woody-ambers add more nuance and depth, but a solid, wearable everyday option at a fraction of the cost.

Season and Occasion Fit

Larmes du Désert

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and deep, resinous nature make it generally unsuitable for the office, though some find it office-safe given a lighter hand. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its warm, sophisticated character can truly impress, particularly in cooler months. Not suited for casual daywear or sport due to its density.
