Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast, and the old formulation is clearly regarded as superior. If you can get your hands on a vintage bottle, prepare for an earthy, smoky amber that demands attention.
This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some calling it a stunning amber and others a burnt mess. Expect a syrupy, smoky amber with divisive performance, so don't blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant sillage means it’s definitely not for the office. Its rich, sensual nature and complex profile make it perfect for a dramatic date night or a formal evening, but it's far too heavy for casual wear or sport.

Occasions
Its dense, smoky amber profile and reported strong projection, though divisive, make it less suited for an office environment. However, its rich and boozy nature lends itself well to formal events and date nights, particularly in colder weather.
