Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Basma Noir

This one is a properly divisive beast - you'll either adore its spicy-woody complexity or find it utterly perplexing. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a unique standout.

Statement

Our Verdict - Summanus

Summanus is a deeply polarising fragrance; a bold, boozy rose with serious staying power. While some rave about its sophisticated warmth and gourmand elements, others find it shockingly skanky. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Also Works:

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold and warm character, driven by strong woody and amber accords, makes it better suited for evening and cooler weather occasions. While too intense for a typical office, it holds its own at formal events and makes a statement on a date.

Summanus

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for office wear. The rich, boozy gourmand profile and strong projection are perfect for date nights and evening formal events, but it's too heavy for casual daytime or sport.
