Which Should You Buy?
This one is a divisive heavy hitter: a bold, gourmand beast with a sophisticated twist. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who love it, really love it. Expect attention-grabbing sweetness that lingers for ages.
A truly divisive L'Artisan masterpiece, Traversee du Bosphore is a sweet leather scent that either charms with its unique gourmand embrace or repels with its 'play-doh' or 'synthetic' qualities. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of discontinued gem.

Occasions
Its potent projection and intense sweetness make it less suitable for professional office settings. However, it's perfect for evening dates and formal occasions where its luxurious, attention-grabbing aura can truly shine.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and intriguing, warm sweetness make it suitable for casual wear and dates, where its unique character can be appreciated without being overwhelming. The gourmand and leather accords lean it away from formal events, and its complexity isn't suited to the active nature of sport.
