Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, refined benzoin-incense masterpiece that Guerlain inexplicably chopped. Bois d'Armenie is a sophisticated, comforting scent that everyone seems to be scrambling to get their hands on before it's gone for good.
A divisive, dark, and spicy number that's winning over those who dare to go bold. It's a 'sleeper hit' for some, while others find it a tad too blended to truly stand out. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but powerful for the right wearer.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm, spicy accords and a general consensus of being a 'darker fragrance' make it less ideal for office wear. However, its commanding presence and sophistication lend themselves well to date nights and formal events, though perhaps a touch too heavy for everyday casual wear.
