Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising beast. Forget your usual crowd-pleasers; 1740 is a dark, leathery, boozy powerhouse that demands attention. You'll either adore its scandalous charm or recoil from its perceived mustiness. Definitely not for the shrinking violets.
Divisive, potent, and unabashedly raunchy, Franck Boclet's Erotic lives up to its name. This isn't for the faint of heart, or those who prefer their fragrances subtle; it's a 'love at first sniff' for some, and a 'burnt rubber no-go' for others. Approach with caution, but if it sings to you, it really *sings*.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With its beast mode performance and intensely dark, leathery accords, 1740 is too much for the office. It truly shines on a date or in formal evening settings, projecting a daring confidence that's less suited to casual daytime wear or anything active.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
This extrait's beastmode projection and opulent amber-animalic profile make it far too dominating for an office setting. It shines brightest on a date or in formal evening wear, where its sultry, commanding presence can truly make an impression, but it is too heavy for casual daytime wear.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Woody, Leather accords and Labdanum, Leather notes
