Which Should You Buy?
This used to be an absolute smash, a real dark horse offering luxury on a shoestring. Now? It's a genuine postcode lottery, with dodgy reformulated batches making it a total gamble. Proceed with caution - the original is a stunner, the new stuff is often rubbish.
This one's a reliable, versatile fragrance that's a bit of a dark horse for compliments. It’s got a classic feel, but don’t worry, it avoids being truly 'old man' territory, despite some dissenting opinions. Best for those who appreciate understated elegance over flashy statements.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its warm, spicy, and smoky accords lend themselves well to evening wear and cooler climates, making it suitable for dates and formal events. While some find it office-friendly due to its moderate projection in certain formulations, others report it as too bold for daily wear, particularly if you land an original bottle.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - summer and winter pair best.
Occasions
Its versatile woody-spicy profile makes it suitable for most occasions, especially formal events and dates, as noted in reviews. While generally not overpowering, its warm, elegant nature nudges it away from active sportswear scenarios.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fresh Spicy, Woody, Aromatic accords and Labdanum, Vetiver notes
