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.
A warm, spicy cosmic hug that's less about the stars and more about a cosy evening in. It's a comforting, if slightly unusual, blend for those who like their amber with a good dose of personality.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent, polarising opening and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, but its intriguing, confident dry-down is perfect for dates and evening events. The intensity could overwhelm in casual settings, and it's far too heavy for sport.
Seasons
Occasions
Its warm spicy and amber accords make it far too heavy for the office or sport. However, the rich, balsamic warmth lends itself well to date nights and more formal evening events without being overly stuffy. It's also suitable for casual evening wear when you want something comforting.
