Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bowmakers

Bowmakers is a polarising scent, utterly authentic yet surprisingly wearable for some, while others find it too literal. Expect an olfactory trip to an artisan's workshop - wood, varnish, and all - but be warned, some find it a bit too much like body odour.

Statement

Our Verdict - Bête Humaine

This one's a proper dark horse. Forget the hype trains, Bête Humaine delivers a unique, earthy forest vibe that's genuinely captivating. Those who get it, adore it, finding comfort and mystery in its woody embrace. Though some find it a bit too wild, it's a divisive gem.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bowmakers

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its distinctive woody, resinous, and borderline 'varnish' accords might be too strong or unusual for a typical office setting. However, its natural, cozy dry down and moderate sillage make it suitable for casual wear, especially in cooler weather, with some finding it surprisingly sexy for dates.

Bête Humaine

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate projection and smooth, warm character make it suitable for office wear, though its unique scent profile might be a bit much for some colleagues. It shines on a date due to its sensual and intimate nature, and its relaxed earthiness fits casual outings perfectly. Not ideal for formal events or sport, where its forest-like depth wouldn't quite align.
