Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising scent, Baudelaire provokes strong reactions. Some hail it as a masterpiece of dark luxury, a complex journey through incense and leather. Others find it unoriginal, fleeting, or simply too much. Love it or hate it, Baudelaire certainly leaves an impression.
This one's a bold chypre that takes you back in time, full of cypress, leather, and oakmoss. It's not for the faint-hearted, boasting a strong, earthy character that's definitely old-school, but in a rather good way. A proper statement scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
The strong, dark accords of leather, incense, and amber make it too heavy for widespread office use, though some find it suitable. Its mysterious and warm character, coupled with good longevity, makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events rather than casual or sport activities.
