Which Should You Buy?
If you can get your hands on this limited edition, prepare for an amber-woody sensation that's worth the fuss. It's a seductive showstopper, albeit with a price tag that had some reviewers wishing for a muscular man or diamonds included.
Lye is a divisive one. Some zero-rated it, others called it a masterpiece. For the right nose, it's a bright, radiating amber with a complex interplay of contrasts - sun-drenched clothes, wet earth, and hints of underlying darkness. For others, it's simply 'Not a Perfume'.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
This is a rich, intense amber scent, best suited for evenings and intimate encounters where its seductive warmth can truly shine. While it has good performance, it's a bit too bold and special for a typical office environment or casual daytime wear.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and warm, inviting amber character make it suitable for a date or casual wear, being pleasant and not overpowering. While it has an elegant feel, the resinous warmth might be a bit too much for a formal setting for some, and it's definitely not for sport.
