Which Should You Buy?
This one's a true classic, an approachable Serge Lutens that showcases cinnamon in its purest, warmest form. It's a crowd-pleaser that evokes strong feelings of cosy nostalgia, though some find its linearity a bit much. A real shame it's so hard to find now.
Davidoff Silver Shadow treads a classy line, balancing warm spices and subtle sweetness with a touch of mature masculinity. While some find it a bit too 'old man juice' or lacking in projection, others adore its elegant blend, making it a nuanced choice for those who appreciate understated sophistication.
