Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nuit de Bakélite
Nuit de Bakélite is a divisive, powerhouse green floral. You'll either adore its eccentric, almost nuclear intensity, or you'll be actively repelled by its audacious take on tuberose. Definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Carduus
This is a fiercely divisive scent, evoking everything from cosy tea and honey to medicinal cough syrup and hamster shavings. You'll either love its herbal witchy charm and earthy depth or find it utterly unwearable. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Nuit de Bakélite

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its nuclear performance and room-filling sillage make it completely inappropriate for most office settings. While it could work for an evening date or formal event for those wanting to make a statement, its sheer strength means it's best reserved for casual wear where its unique character can breathe.

Carduus

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent herbal and woody character, combined with excellent longevity and moderate sillage, make it too prominent for most office settings. It excels in casual, intimate settings, and could be an intriguing choice for a date, but lacks the polished elegance for formal events.
