Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Five O'Clock Au Gingembre Eau de Parfum

This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either get a sublime, sophisticated spiced tea experience that's both comforting and unique, or you'll be smelling varnish, play-doh, or even straight-up cat pee. Definitely sample first.

Our Verdict - Sables Eau de Parfum

Sables is a divisive but iconic amber spicy fragrance from Goutal. Expect an extremely potent hit of immortelle, often described as maple syrup, curry, or even pickles, that you'll either adore or recoil from.

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and lack of strong projection make it subtle enough for office wear, though some find it too 'grown-up'. The warm, spicy accords with a touch of sweetness lend themselves well to casual and date settings, while its unique sophistication allows for formal wear. It's far too mellow for sport.

Sables is a beast in terms of longevity and sillage, making it too powerful for most office environments. Its warm, unique, and sensual character suits dates and formal evening events, with some versatility for casual wear in cooler weather.
