Which Should You Buy?
This isn't your average airy osmanthus; Absolue d'Osmanthe is a full-bodied embrace, a bold amber-floral that manages to be both deeply comforting and intriguingly complex. It's a divisive one, with some finding the resinous opening challenging, but those who stick around are rewarded with a rich, golden drydown.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. A deeply divisive blend of sweet, creamy strawberry and robust oud, it's either a unique masterpiece or a complete disaster depending on your skin and nose. Definitely not a blind buy.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and rich, resinous character make it less suitable for a typical office environment. The warmth and depth, however, lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, while its unique profile can also elevate a casual setting.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong performance and prominent oud, Holy Berry isn't ideal for the office. However, its unique, sensual character makes it a fantastic choice for dates and formal evening events, offering a memorable presence. It's too complex and heavy for casual or sport wear.
