Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sensuous Noir Eau de Parfum
A truly divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent. Sensuous Noir is a bold, dark rebel from Estee Lauder, packing a huge pine-patchouli punch. An evening showstopper that's unapologetically strong.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hunter Killer Man Eau de Parfum
Hunter Killer Man is a divisive, beast-mode tobacco and spice bomb. It's not a safe blind buy and definitely needs to macerate to show its true colours. Expect compliments from some, rejection from others.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sensuous Noir Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and intense, dark accords make it completely unsuitable for the office, though some brave souls attempt it. Sensuous Noir truly shines after dark; it's a perfect fit for romantic dates or formal evening events where its captivating sillage can be appreciated.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature, particularly after maceration, Hunter Killer Man is too potent for most office environments. It shines in more intimate evening settings like dates and is suitable for formal events where its commanding scent can make a statement, but it's far too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
