Notorious

Which Should You Buy?
A divisive oud for the price-conscious. It's affordable, but some find the spice and synthetic notes off-putting, while others laud its warm, elegant Middle Eastern vibe. Sample first to avoid a blind-buy blunder.
Notorious is a bold, complex beast of a fragrance. It's not for the faint-hearted, nor is it a blind buy, but those who 'get' it absolutely swear by its smoky, leathery depth. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its blend of oud and warm spices, coupled with reported average to strong longevity, makes it better suited for cooler weather and evening wear. While some reviewers find it office-safe, its formal leaning makes it ideal for more upscale events and dates.
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
With strong sillage and longevity, Notorious is far too potent for the office. Its unique, bold character makes it an excellent choice for a statement on a date or an evening event, though it's too intense for everyday wear.
