Season and Occasion Fit

Le Male Elixir Absolu

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Its dense amber, tonka and spicy character makes this ideal for cold or crisp weather, lending itself best to autumn and winter. The warmth may be cloying in summer but can work in early spring evenings.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The bold projection and sensual sweetness make it stand out for date nights and formal evenings. It is a bit too assertive for the office or athletic settings, but can work for stylish casual wear.

Opus XIV – Royal Tobacco Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its beast-mode performance and overtly strong, distinct character, Royal Tobacco is completely unsuitable for office wear. It excels in formal or special evening date settings where its bold projection and opulent aroma can be appreciated without overwhelming a small space.
