Which Should You Buy?
Labdanum 18 is a divisive animalic musk that's either a cosy, sophisticated baby powder bomb or a challenging, almost offensive 'petting zoo' scent. It's not for everyone, but if it works with your skin chemistry, it's an addictive and much-loved modern classic.
This one's a proper saffron bomb, divisive for its synthetic edge, but intriguing for those who dig a bold, fruity oud. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warmth, sweetness, and prominent animalic notes make it better suited for intimate dates or formal evening wear rather than a professional office. While some find it comforting casually, its intensity can be too much for everyday wear or active sport.

Occasions
Its potent, warm spicy and oud accords make it too much for the office. However, it’s a stunning choice for dates or formal events where its distinct character can truly shine, especially since it projects better in the sillage.
