Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Les Absolus d'Orient Encens Mythique Eau de Parfum

This one's proper divisive, isn't it? Love it or hate it, Encens Mythique is a Guerlain stunner that either evokes ancient cathedrals and nautical whimsy or... a public loo. An unmissable olfactive journey, assuming your nose isn't broken.

Our Verdict - Dark Rebel Rider Eau de Parfum

This is a seriously dark, smoky leather fragrance - a love-it-or-hate-it scent for the 'bad boy' image, though its dismal performance means it's often a personal pleasure rather than a public statement.

Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:

Dark Rebel Rider Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its strong, dark leather and resinous character make it less suitable for office or very formal settings, but perfect for dates and casual evenings out. The frequently cited poor projection and longevity mean it often becomes a skin scent, making it more personal than impactful for public events.
