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 cheapie with a beautiful scent profile that suffers from utterly horrendous performance. If you want something that lasts longer than a quick shower, look elsewhere, but for a post-gym spritz, it's a decent shout.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its refined and warm character makes it ideal for dates and formal events, creating an elegant impression. While its projection is generally subtle to average, it's suitable for office wear, but less so for casual daytime activities or anything sporty due to its rich, resinous profile.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its poor longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual wear or sports, where a subtle skin scent is more appropriate. The clean, fresh accords would be suitable for the office, but it simply won't last a full workday.
