Which Should You Buy?
A divisive yet distinctive beast from Lutens. This licorice-leather-vanilla syrup is either a masterpiece of dark luxury or a cloying, uninspired rehash. One thing's for sure: it's not for the faint-hearted.
A smooth, classy leather-vanilla blend that's almost universally loved for its refined scent, but bitterly divisive when it comes to performance. If you want subtle elegance, you'll adore it; if you want a powerhouse, you'll be seriously disappointed by its fleeting nature.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
The sophisticated leather, vanilla, and oud blend makes it excellent for date nights and formal events, lending an air of refinement. Its subdued projection, while a point of contention for some, actually makes it suitable for office wear where discretion is key, and it works well for classy casual winter outings. It's far too elegant and not suited for sport.
