Which Should You Buy?
Floriental is a surprisingly agreeable, complex plum-and-incense fragrance, if you can forgive the truly baffling performance on some. It's chic and modern, but don't expect a beast mode scent.
Mortal Skin is a seriously polarising scent: some claim it's a masterpiece, a mysterious and addictive aroma that defies categorisation, whilst others find it 'icky', 'gross', or even like 'rotten meat'. Its divisive nature, coupled with frequent complaints about weak performance, means it's not a crowd-pleaser and definitely needs a test wear.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection on average makes it suitable for office wear, not being overly intrusive. The sophisticated blend of plum, incense, and woods, often described as 'sexy' or 'elegant', makes it a strong contender for dates and formal events, particularly in cooler weather. It's too rich and warm for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its dark, enigmatic character and the mixed reviews on sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office or casual wear. It leans towards evenings and special occasions where its unique scent can be appreciated without being overpowering, ideal for dates or formal events if the projection isn't too strong.
