Which Should You Buy?
A daring rose for those who crave intrigue - earthy patchouli and vetiver smolder beneath the petals, making this an intense, contemporary floral that commands attention without resorting to sweetness.
A divisive take on patchouli, this one. Some find it a clean, refined, and exquisite woody-floral-musk. Others? A dusty, chocolatey, powdery concoction that misses the mark entirely. You'll either adore its unique spin or wonder what all the fuss is about.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
With its deep woody, patchouli, and earthy notes, this fragrance excels in the cooler months of fall and winter but the floral aspect of rose gives it lift for spring wear. Its richness may be too much for hot summer days.
Occasions
The bold woody-rose character is dramatic and sensual, making it stand out on dates or evening events, while the richness and projection lend themselves well to formal occasions. For office or casual wear, it may feel a touch too assertive.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and good longevity, it might be a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its refined and elegant profile makes it suitable for evenings out, dates, and semi-formal events. Its unique character also allows for casual wear when you want to make a statement.
