Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lacura Pure Noir Eau de Parfum

A sweet patchouli-vanilla bomb with juicy blackcurrant and jasmine, Pure Noir punches above its price with bold projection and a seductive, modern vibe. Not for wallflowers, but a delight for lovers of fruity-sweet designer scents.

Statement

Our Verdict - Voleur de Roses Eau de Parfum

Voleur de Roses is a divisive beast: an earthy, gothic take on rose and patchouli that some adore as a masterpiece, while others find it a damp, mouldy mess. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent with a uniquely dark charm that's certainly not for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lacura Pure Noir Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

The sweet, fruity, and patchouli-vanilla base gives Pure Noir the weight and warmth for autumn and winter, while its juicy top and floral heart make it versatile for spring. The richness may feel heavy for hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Best for date nights and casual outings where a bold, sweet trail is welcome. The pronounced sweet-fruity character is less suited to sporty or highly formal settings, and may be too attention-grabbing for the office.

Voleur de Roses Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold, earthy rose and patchouli character, combined with reports of moderate to good longevity, make it a bit much for the office. However, its dark and sensual nature means it truly shines as a date night or formal evening scent. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling a bit edgy, but sport is a definite no-go.
