Which Should You Buy?
Serge Noire is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a challenging opening that veers into body odour territory for some, but if you can push through, it transforms into an incredibly deep, sexy, and artistic blend of dark spices and woods. Definitely not a blind buy.
This isn't for the faint of heart. Falkar is a powerhouse oud that proudly flaunts its animalic, leathery side. It's divisive, raw, and unapologetically masculine, smelling like a horse stable in the best possible way. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for challenging, bold scents.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The explosive clove-cinnamon spice over a smoky incense and resinous woody drydown reads heaviest in winter, the anchor season, with autumn a close extension. The heat and density keep it well off the spring and summer shelves.
Occasions
A pushy, artistic statement scent with strong projection suits date nights and formal cool-weather evenings where presence is welcome. The challenging, near-savoury opening makes it a poor office or sport choice.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its beast mode performance and strong animalic accords make it risky for the office, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event, especially in cooler weather. It's too heavy for casual daytime wear or sports.
