Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Infrarouge Extrait
This raspberry leather-oud hybrid is a properly divisive beast. Some find it a sophisticated, juicy leather dream, others a harsh, synthetic nightmare. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it are absolutely obsessed.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Chaos Extrait
Chaos lives up to its name, a truly divisive fragrance that you'll either adore or absolutely loathe. Expect a heavy, synthetic cherry-leather that swings from 'masterpiece' to 'mechanic's workshop' depending on who's sniffing. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cuir Infrarouge

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong, distinctive scent profile, this is definitely not an office-friendly fragrance. It shines brightest on dates or formal evening events where its bold and sensual character can truly stand out, though some find it a bit much even for a casual night out.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong projection and potent leather-cherry combination, Chaos is far too overpowering for an office environment. It shines on a date or for formal evening wear, where its bold and mysterious character can make a statement without overwhelming. Its intensity makes it unsuitable for casual daytime wear or sport.
