Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sellier EDP
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Fabricant EDP
Fabricant takes on Byredo Sellier's unapologetically bold smoky-leather statement, opening with that potent leather blast over black tea and cashmeran. The original's tarry birch depth and luxurious smoothness read a little flatter here, but it captures that potent leather signature on a budget.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sellier

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.

Smoky leather, tobacco and birch are cold-weather signatures, peaking in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Office Date Casual
