Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aromatics Elixir

Aromatics Elixir is an uncompromising chypre that demands attention with its assertive, herbal-mossy character and vintage sophistication. Not for the faint of heart, but unforgettable for true lovers of classic perfumery.

Statement

Our Verdict - New Tradition

New Tradition is a mixed bag for sure. Some find it a beautifully blended classic, while others can't get past its retro, even dated, vibe. If you like your scents with a touch of old-school spice and florals, you'll probably love it; otherwise, steer clear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aromatics Elixir

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

The mossy, earthy, spicy chypre structure thrives in cool to temperate weather, making this ideal for fall and winter. Spring works for those who love vintage florals and boldness, but the density and lack of sweetness make it less suited for hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

This classic chypre's powerful sillage and complex character suit formal events and evening wear best. Its bold projection and vintage style can be polarizing in the office or casual settings.

New Tradition

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date Casual

Its moderate performance and classic, slightly old-school spiced floral profile make it suitable for formal settings and dates, adding a touch of romance or sophistication. While not overtly casual, its clean aspect allows for daily wear, though its distinctiveness might be too much for a conservative office environment or during sports.
