Which Should You Buy?
Tabu is the original 'slutty' smell, a classic that refuses to die. It's a bold, spicy, animalic bomb - love it or hate it, just don't over-spray unless you want to gaslight your enemies.
Divisive, but generally well-loved for its rich spicy-sweet embrace, Judith Leiber Night offers an opulent experience without breaking the bank. It's a proper grown-up scent, though its name might suggest a maturity it doesn't always deliver.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong, spicy-animalic character, Tabu is far too potent for the office. It's best suited for romantic dates or evening formal events where its commanding presence can shine, though some enjoy it casually when applied sparingly.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and enduring longevity, typical of an amber-heavy fragrance, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its sophisticated and warm character is perfect for dates, casual outings (especially in cooler weather), and even less formal evening events.
