Which Should You Buy?
Fancy Nights is the ultimate love-it-or-hate-it scent. Forget saccharine celeb fare; this is a potent, earthy patchouli bomb, challenging but endlessly rewarding for those who 'get it'.
Ylang 49 is a divisive, full-bodied chypre floral. It's a proper grown-up scent for those who crave a bit of vintage drama, but beware: its potent sillage and enduring power aren't for the faint-hearted. It’s either a grand statement or a headache waiting to happen.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and significant sillage, combined with its strong, earthy character, make it less suitable for office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. However, its deep, mysterious qualities make it perfect for date nights and formal evening events, particularly in cooler weather.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for office environments, as it can be overwhelming for others. However, the sophisticated and bold profile makes it an excellent choice for dates and formal events where you want to make a statement.
