Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Baudelaire
A truly polarising scent, Baudelaire provokes strong reactions. Some hail it as a masterpiece of dark luxury, a complex journey through incense and leather. Others find it unoriginal, fleeting, or simply too much. Love it or hate it, Baudelaire certainly leaves an impression.

Our Verdict - Sultan The Conqueror
This one's a divisive beast, a murky blend that some absolutely adore for its sweet, woody oud, while others find it a messy, unrefined approximation of other popular heavyweights. Expect strong takes, both good and bad.

Season and Occasion Fit

Baudelaire

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

The strong, dark accords of leather, incense, and amber make it too heavy for widespread office use, though some find it suitable. Its mysterious and warm character, coupled with good longevity, makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events rather than casual or sport activities.

Sultan The Conqueror

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and above average longevity with prominent amber, woody, and smoky accords, this scent is far too dominant for an office setting. It's best suited for evening wear and special occasions like dates or formal events where its character can truly shine.
