Which Should You Buy?
Silences is a green beast, period. It'll throw you into a wild, mossy forest with an unapologetic bite, but don't expect a gentle stroll. It's divisive: a love-it-or-hate-it green chypre that might just be Chanel No. 19's cooler, more rugged cousin.
Derby is a complex beast, with significant batch variations causing a love-it-or-hate-it divide among users. When it hits right, it's a unique, classy green dream. When it misses, it's a frustratingly faint echo of its potential. Try before you buy, if you can.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong green, occasionally sharp character and moderate sillage, Silences can be a statement for formal or office wear, though it might be a bit too intense for very close-quarters office environments. Its freshness makes it suitable casually, but it's not a typical sport scent due to its more complex, serious profile.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its generally subtle sillage, as noted by many, makes it ideal for office and formal wear where discretion is key. The green and woody accords lend themselves well to a composed, versatile elegance, though some find it too fleeting for special occasions.
