Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a divisive experience. Bois Talisman swings between being a refined, sophisticated smoky vanilla, and a 'basic', uninspired take on a very well-trodden scent profile. It's either an elevated classic or an expensive disappointment, depending on who you ask.
A boozy, sweet, and woody powerhouse, Raised Spirits can be a bit polarising due to its intense opening, but settles into a sexy, comforting scent that will get you noticed. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, but those who love it, really, really love it.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its smoky, sweet, and woody profile makes it ideal for cooler weather and evening events, particularly dates where its sensual aura can shine. While some find it too much for the office, its moderate projection makes it a possible, albeit bold, choice for colder casual or semi-formal settings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and rich, sweet, and boozy profile, Raised Spirits is best suited for evening wear, especially on dates or formal events where you want to make a statement. Its warmth and coziness also make it appropriate for casual, intimate settings, but it's likely too intense for an office environment or sport.
