Which Should You Buy?
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.
A divisive chypre that demands commitment. Some find it a 'grape soda' mess if under-sprayed, others crown it an aristocratic, elegant masterpiece. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong longevity and projection mean it's best suited for evenings and formal events where its rich, elegant character can truly shine without overpowering. While some wear it to the office, its bold presence might be too much for a professional setting, making it more appropriate for special occasions.
