Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, photo-realistic grapefruit opening, swiftly followed by a soft, fresh rose. However, this beauty is tragically fleeting, a common complaint that plagues an otherwise stunning fragrance.
This isn't your usual Arabian oud bomb; it's oud for beginners, dressed up in French elegance. A divisive scent that some adore for its sophisticated twist on oriental notes, while others find it a little too soft or even 'mislabelled' for a true oud fanatic. Approach with an open mind and a light hand.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, delicate nature and poor longevity make it perfect for casual wear or as an inoffensive office scent, though you'll need to reapply frequently. It's too subtle for formal events or dates where you want to make a lasting impression.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and good longevity make it suitable for evenings out or formal events where you want to make an impression without overwhelming. Reviews suggest it's too potent for easy office wear if oversprayed, but its elegant nature suits a date night perfectly. Not one for the gym.
