Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Magie Noire
A bewitching chypre that commands attention, Magie Noire is vintage glamour incarnate. Green, mossy woods and dark resins swirl with florals for a haunting, enigmatic statement.
Statement
Our Verdict - Pacific Isles
This one's a smooth operator - a fresh, clean green floral that's surprisingly versatile. Don't let the 'masculine' label fool you; this is a beautifully blended, understated scent that gets compliments.

Season and Occasion Fit

Magie Noire

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Oakmoss, patchouli and resinous notes thrive in cool weather, making Magie Noire perfect for fall and winter. Its richness and warmth suit chilly evenings, but the green and floral edges make it wearable in spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Best suited for formal or evening occasions due to its opulent, bold character and pronounced sillage. Too commanding for sporty or daily office settings, but has a deeply romantic vintage allure for nights out.

Pacific Isles

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, fresh, and moderately projecting nature makes it perfect for casual wear and the office. While it's lovely, it might be a bit too understated for formal events and not quite dynamic enough for sports.
