Which Should You Buy?
Archives 69 is ELdO at its most divisive: a bizarre ride through medicinal camphor and peppery spice that some find utterly compelling, others utterly repulsive. Definitely not a blind buy, but endlessly fascinating.
This one's a divisive cherry bomb - some find it a unique, sensual dream, while others are put off by its bitter, mature opening. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so don't blind buy.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and unique character make it intriguing for casual wear or a date, allowing its unusual facets to be appreciated without overwhelming. The strong, at times medicinal, opening and its avant-garde profile might be too distracting for a formal event or the office, while its warm spicy and camphor notes are unsuitable for sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong, sensual nature and musky, warm spicy accords, this scent is best suited for evening wear and special occasions like dates or formal events. It might be overwhelming for an office setting or casual daytime use where a lighter touch is preferred.
