Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Solo Eau de Toilette
This one's a divisive dark horse. Some reckon it's a classy, unique leather-tea blend, a more serious take on the original Solo. Others find it an absolute scrubber, akin to 'toilet spray' or a 'dusty gymnasium'. Try before you buy, unless you're a gambling man.

Our Verdict - Sel d'Ambre Eau de Parfum
This isn't your average syrupy amber; Sel d'Ambre is a divisive, opinionated beast. It's a dry, mineral, and almost austere take on amber that won't be for everyone, but those who love it rave about its unique sophistication and depth.

Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its moderate performance and elegant leather-tea profile, this scent is ideal for office and formal wear, where refinement is key. It's also well-suited for dates due to its sensual character, but its richer accords make it less versatile for casual daytime or sport.

Sel d'Ambre Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong amber and animalic accords, paired with excellent longevity and noticeable projection, Sel d'Ambre is best suited for evening wear. It's a bit too bold and heavy for everyday casual or office use, but perfect for a sophisticated date night or a formal event where you want to make an impression.
