Which Should You Buy?
A silky, resinous embrace of myrrh and creamy tonka, this Cologne Intense is both comforting and sophisticated. A modern classic for lovers of plush, sweet orientals with a refined, soothing character.
This one's proper divisive, a true love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Forget blind buys, you absolutely need to get your nose on Decibel before committing, because what some call unique and mesmerising, others call 'disgusting' and 'church-like'.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The plush warmth of myrrh, tonka, and vanilla make this ideal for fall and winter, draping the wearer in a cozy, resinous sweetness. It can work in spring on chilly days, but its richness can be cloying in summer heat.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and sensual warmth make it a standout for romantic evenings and formal occasions where an inviting aura is welcome. It can be worn in the office if applied lightly, but feels out of place for sport or intense activity.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Decibel's strong sillage and warm, smoky, unique accords make it unsuitable for most office environments, but great for a night out or a casual evening gathering. Its distinctive character aligns well with date nights in cooler weather.
