Which Should You Buy?
This loud, tropical musk is utterly divisive. Some find it a bold, juicy mango dream, others recoil from a 'catpiss' calamity. Approach with extreme caution and a good nose.
A truly underrated gem, 5th Avenue Royale punches well above its weight class. It's a dark, rich, and sophisticated experience at a bargain price, although its divisive patchouli and variable longevity means it's not for everyone.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its rich, dark, and boozy character makes it better suited for evenings and cooler weather. While some find its performance fleeting, it's generally considered too strong for an office setting and primarily recommended for nights out and special events.
