Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for deja vu, because Byredo Sellier is basically Santal 33's edgy, leather-clad sibling. It's a divisive one - some adore its sophisticated, smoky depth, others find it shockingly similar to its famous cousin, often for a much higher price tag. Not a safe blind buy, but if you want to be the 'King of Assholes,' fill your boots.
This one's a Montale by any other name - a brutally uncompromising, heavily animalic oud-leather for those craving serious intensity. Not for the faint-hearted, it's a divisive beast that demands respect, or a wide berth.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong, smoky leather profile and often reported good longevity and sillage for a Byredo, Sellier might be too imposing for the office. It truly shines in evening settings, be it a sophisticated date or a formal event, where its luxurious warmth can make a statement. Some reviews indicate casual winter wear, but its intensity limits versatility.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, coupled with its heavy, dark accords of oud, leather, and smoke, make it completely unsuitable for casual or office wear. This scent demands a formal setting, dressed to the nines, preferably in cold weather, allowing its intensity to command attention.
