Which Should You Buy?
Notorious is a bold, complex beast of a fragrance. It's not for the faint-hearted, nor is it a blind buy, but those who 'get' it absolutely swear by its smoky, leathery depth. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent.
A divisive, take-no-prisoners Arabian Nights fantasy, but if you're after a bold, Middle Eastern inspired scent with European restraint and plenty of gothic allure, this is your jam. Discontinued, but worth chasing down.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
With strong sillage and longevity, Notorious is far too potent for the office. Its unique, bold character makes it an excellent choice for a statement on a date or an evening event, though it's too intense for everyday wear.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong, woody-leather and balsamic accords make it dominant, more suited for evening and special occasions than casual or office wear. Community reviews highlight its 'unisex' and 'gothic' nature, reinforcing its formal and date night appeal.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Leather, Amber, Warm Spicy accords and Rose, Leather notes
