Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive ghost of a perfume. You're either going to get a sophisticated, smoky resin masterpiece, or a very expensive pencil-shaving accord. Proceed with caution and don't blind-buy, even if it's discontinued.
Deluge is a hidden gem for fans of atmospheric, rainy scents. It's a surprisingly strong contender that deserves more recognition, offering a distinct and invigorating aroma perfect for those who appreciate nature's moody side.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its blend of incense, pepper, and woody notes makes it more suited for evenings and cooler weather. While some find it discreet enough for office wear, its unique and occasionally bold character leans towards date nights and formal events, with strong sillage reports making it less ideal for close quarters.
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its fresh and slightly unconventional profile makes it suitable for casual wear and even sport. While it's a bit too unique for formal settings, its moderate strength allows it to work in an office or on a relaxed date without being overpowering.
