Which Should You Buy?
A divisive beast, Carbone is far from a crowd-pleaser but a guaranteed statement-maker. This is Quentin Bisch at his most audacious, a powerful musky rose with a challenging cumin twist. Love it or hate it, you won't forget it.
A divisive take on the classic rose-oud, Midnight Oud is a bold statement. While some find its opening challenging - think 'burned plastic' or 'gasoline' - patient wearers are rewarded with a dark, sophisticated dry down. Definitely not for the shy, but a must-try for oud newcomers and dark romantic souls alike.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its immense sillage and longevity make it unsuitable for office wear, as it's often described as an "atomic bomb" of scent. However, its sophisticated and sensual profile, with notes of rose, suede, and warm spices, makes it perfect for date nights and formal events where you want to command attention. It's too intense for casual or sport settings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong opening, significant sillage, and long-lasting nature, this scent is ill-suited for the office. It excels in intimate date settings and formal evening events, particularly in cooler weather, where its bold character can shine without overwhelming.
