Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - In The Stars Eau de Parfum

This is B&BW's infamous Baccarat Rouge dupe, and it's certainly a divisive one. Some smell cheap, synthetic horror, while others are convinced it's a high-class, affordable masterpiece. You'll know which camp you're in after a sniff, but its surprising longevity for a mist can make it hard to forget.

Our Verdict - Chiron Extrait

Chiron is Marmite in a bottle - a love-it-or-hate-it tobacco vanilla that demands patience. Many find the opening challenging, but those who wait are rewarded with an addictive, high-quality drydown.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

While some find it office-appropriate, its potent projection and distinct, 'perfumey' character can be too much for close quarters. It shines on dates and casual outings, where its warmth and modern sweetness are appreciated. Wear it to the gym if you're not afraid of making a statement.

Chiron Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it too potent for an office setting. However, its rich, warm, and sensual profile is perfect for dates and evening events, offering a comforting yet luxurious presence. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear unless you're embracing the 'cozy blanket' vibe at home.
