Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive sniff, folks. Some call it an earthy, classy freshie, others can't get past the 'old car' vibe. You'll either get its complex, challenging dance between clean and raw, or you'll be reaching for the surgical masks.
Divisive and aptly named, yet not for the reasons you'd expect. Forget tropical cocktails; this is a dense, spicy, leathery beast some call a masterpiece, others burnt toast. Try before you buy, it's certainly a conversation starter.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, especially in the opening, might be a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its clean, woody freshness and interesting leather accord make it suitable for casual wear or intriguing date nights. The earthy, raw aspects lend themselves to less formal situations, while the iris adds a touch of unexpected elegance for a modern formal setting.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong woody, spicy, and leathery accords, and mentions of impressive longevity and projection, this scent is better suited to date nights or formal events. It may be too bold for an office setting and definitely not for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
