Which Should You Buy?
This isn't for the faint of heart, it's a divisive beast of a scent that screams 'I'm here' and then some. A powerhouse that some adore as a masterpiece, while others find it overwhelmingly potent and challenging. It’s got an acquired taste, and boy, is it acquired.
This is a fiercely divisive fragrance. Either you'll appreciate its audacious, earthy originality or you'll find it utterly repulsive. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for those who dare to be different and aren't afraid of a bit of a challenge.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its overwhelming strength and unique, challenging profile make it unsuitable for most office or formal settings. While some might dare to wear it on a casual outing or a very specific type of date, its beast-mode performance suggests it's best appreciated in smaller doses or in more unconventional environments.
