Which Should You Buy?
Cedrat Boise is a deeply divisive fruity-woody fragrance. For some, it's a versatile beast with a stunning dry down, for others, it's a scrubber smelling of burnt rubber, ashtrays or cleaning products. Definitely sample first.
Vespero is the love-it-or-hate-it Aventus alternative for those who like their fruit with a hefty side of leather. It’s got beastly performance, but some find it a bit too unoriginal, while others praise its unique blend of familiar elements.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and significant projection make Vespero a powerful presence, slightly too strong for a conservative office. However, its sophisticated woody-leather profile and 'deep, dark, musky amber vibe' make it perfect for dates and evening formal events, with casual wear possible if applied lightly.
