Carios Extrait

Which Should You Buy?
A distinctly British, gentlemanly scent. Burlington Arcade opens with a clean, peppery zest, and rounds off with a woody, sophisticated air. It's a bit of a wallflower though - charming up close, but don't expect it to shout across a room.
Carios is a deeply divisive release. While some find its fresh, sweet, and spicy profile intoxicating and groundbreaking, others condemn it as overpriced, unoriginal, and even 'revolting'. The consensus is that it's a 'love it or hate it' from PdM, though its exorbitant price tag often tips the scales towards exasperation.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. The sophisticated and clean profile makes it a good fit for formal events and dates, though it might lack the punch some desire. Its subtlety means it won't shine for casual or sport settings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its balanced fresh and spicy character makes it versatile for most occasions, with moderate projection perfectly suited for close-quarters like dates or the office. However, some find it too sweet or present for highly formal events, and certainly not for active sport.
