Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either love its intensely syrupy caramel and resinous depth or recoil from its 'burnt kitchen' vibe. It creates entire worlds for some, like a cherished memory, while others find it too challenging or simply weird. Definitely not blind buy safe, but a cult favourite for many.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This fragrance is nuclear in performance and has a very strong, distinctive character, making it largely unsuitable for office wear. Its cosy, bold warmth is perfect for intimate dates or casual, relaxed settings. While unique and luxurious, its gourmand and heavy profile might be too niche for most formal occasions.
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.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Herbal, Aromatic, Woody accords and Leather, Patchouli notes
