Which Should You Buy?
Seriously underrated in the wider world, Bleu Lazuli is a masterpiece for those in the know. It's a smooth, luxurious shapeshifter that blends spicy, sweet, and comforting accords into a truly addictive and unique experience, though some find it a touch too sweet or subtle.
Velvet Plum Tea isn't quite the plum-tea bomb you might expect from the name. Instead, it's a divisive, sultry oud-heavy offering that some will adore and others will find a bit 'boujee house furniture'.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage means it's generally fine for office wear, though the sweetness might be divisive. It excels on dates and formal occasions thanks to its warm, sensual, and sophisticated profile. While elegant, it's versatile enough for elevated casual wear.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
The prominent oud and warm spicy accords, described as 'sultry' and 'smouldering', make this a strong choice for dates and formal evening events. Its intensity and darker character make it less suitable for casual wear or the office.
