Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Five O'Clock Au Gingembre Eau de Parfum

This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either get a sublime, sophisticated spiced tea experience that's both comforting and unique, or you'll be smelling varnish, play-doh, or even straight-up cat pee. Definitely sample first.

Our Verdict - Ombre Noire Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive brew; some find it a masterful blend of boozy, woody spice with an almost magical 'maceration' effect, others are just getting a headache-inducing whiff of curry. You'll either adore its dark, mature mystery or find yourself smelling like last night's Indian takeaway. Seriously, sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit

Five O'Clock Au Gingembre Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and lack of strong projection make it subtle enough for office wear, though some find it too 'grown-up'. The warm, spicy accords with a touch of sweetness lend themselves well to casual and date settings, while its unique sophistication allows for formal wear. It's far too mellow for sport.

Ombre Noire Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its warm, spicy, and boozy profile makes it a stellar choice for dates and formal events, creating an alluring and sophisticated aura. The often-cited moderate performance, especially after 'maceration', allows it to be wearable for casual outings without being overwhelming, though its depth is less suited for office or sport environments.
