Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, dark, sweet, and smooth legend from Issey Miyake's Nuit line. Polaris is sadly discontinued, so if you happen upon a bottle don't hesitate to snatch it up - it's a masterpiece.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Le Labo - Vetiver 46 - a woody fragrance led by Pepper, Tahitian Vetiver, Labdanum, with amber depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and dark, intense character make it unsuitable for office wear, but perfect for evening dates and formal events. The rich accords and strong performance are best suited for cooler weather social occasions.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the woody, amber profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the woody accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
