Which Should You Buy?
Noir Epices is a truly polarising fragrance; a sophisticated, spicy oriental that some hail as a masterpiece and others find far too vintage, bordering on medicinal. You'll either adore its bitter orange and clove intensity or recoil from its potent blend.
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.

Occasions
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.
