Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Luci ed Ombre
This one's a proper divisive scent; you'll either get an elegant interplay of light and dark, or a mouldy attic with a hint of Gorgonzola. The prominent tuberose and incense prove a love-it-or-hate-it combo, rarely settling for indifference.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Volcano
Divisive, powerful, and undeniably bold. Some find it a sophisticated, fiery rose-oud, others a synthetic, dated mess. If you're after a warm, alluring statement, this could be your molten hot ticket, but certainly try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Luci ed Ombre

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and good longevity make it suitable for a date or a formal event, where it can be appreciated up close without being overwhelming. The nuanced balance of florals and woods also works for a sophisticated office environment, though its unique character might be too much for some casual settings.

Volcano

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and dark amber-rose accords make it too commanding for everyday office wear, but perfect for making an impression on a date or at an evening event. The intensity means it's not suited for casual daytime activities or sport.
