Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Shaal Nur

This Etro offering is a proper shapeshifter, a complex aromatic woody scent that sparks division. Some find it a beautifully evolved, elegant wear, others are left wanting. Expect an 'old-school' vibe with a modern twist, but don't expect it to stay the same from first spray to dry-down.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Foresta Magica

A truly unique green, citrusy fragrance that masterfully balances a vibrant freshness with an intriguing, subtle depth. It's divisive; some love its complexity, while others find it a bit too much or too tart. Experience it for yourself to see if you're in the 'love' camp.

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Shaal Nur, with its moderate to strong sillage and complex aromatic-woody profile, is best suited for social and formal occasions where its nuanced development can be appreciated. While some find it too potent for daily office wear, its 'intelligent' and 'classy' feel makes it a good fit for dates and formal events, and versatile enough for casual wear if applied sparingly.

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, energetic, and slightly unique profile makes it highly versatile for casual wear and suitable for dates. While office-appropriate in moderation, its bolder character might be a bit much for very formal events. The fresh accords also make it a decent choice for sport, though some might find the woody base too heavy.
