Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Silver Shadow Altitude
An underrated gem that offers surprising complexity for its price. A refreshing, clean scent that balances citrus and spice, it's a nostalgic favourite for many, though some bemoan its fleeting presence.

Our Verdict - Zanzibar
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Louis Vuitton Imagination (2021) - bergamot, black tea and amberwood translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Silver Shadow Altitude

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean profile and often-cited moderate performance make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, where it won't overpower. While it offers a quiet confidence suitable for dates, its lack of strong sillage makes it less suited for formal events that demand greater projection.

Zanzibar

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Bergamot-ginger-tea opening is bright in spring and summer; the ambrette-amberwood close carries into autumn. Winter wear lacks the warmth depth.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Sport

Office and date-day natural fit - sophisticated, polished, modern. Versatile for casual wear too.
