Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sultry Woods EDP
Divisive and unapologetically bold, Sultry Woods is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. If you're after something truly individual with niche quality at a fraction of the usual price tag, this challenging rose and leather beast is one to experience.

Our Verdict - Alexandria Orientale EDP
This one is a properly divisive beast. Alexandria Orientale promises a rich, complex oud but delivers a challenging opening that will either turn heads or turn stomachs. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little room for indifference.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sultry Woods

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong performance and unique, challenging profile, Sultry Woods isn't suited for office wear, but its depth and confident aura make it ideal for a memorable date night or a formal occasion where you want to stand out. It's a bit too 'niche' for everyday casual wear but could work if you're feeling adventurous.

Alexandria Orientale

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its enormous longevity and projection, this is entirely unsuitable for an office environment, where it would overwhelm. It shines brightest at formal events or on a sophisticated date night, where its strength and unique character can be appreciated.
