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.
Run a mile. This one's an absolute stink bomb. Our Emperor of the Dumpster, as one reviewer put it. Seriously, save your cash.

Season and Occasion Fit
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 the universally negative feedback branding it as unwearable, this perfume is unsuitable for any occasion, let alone where others might be present.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Sweet, Musky accords and Musk, Pink Pepper notes
