Which Should You Buy?
A modern take on woody spice that's a bit of a divisive one; some find it a sophisticated, subtle masterpiece, others dismiss it as fleeting and smelling of 'leaky ballpoint pens'. If you're after a subtle, contemporary scent, it's worth a shot, but don't expect it to last.
This one's a mixed bag. Some find its exotic spice blend a 'straight banger', while others are left cold by what they see as a 'watered down' reformulation. Approach with caution, but if it hits right, it really hits right.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh, warm spicy accords make it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. The subtlety might not shine in a loud formal setting, and it’s definitely not one for the gym.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent spicy notes and reported lasting power make it a bold choice for an everyday office setting, potentially overwhelming colleagues. However, the warm and sensual accords are perfect for sophisticated date nights or formal events, leaving a memorable sillage without being 'too much' as some reviewers mentioned.
