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.
This is a grown-up rose, dark and mysterious, adored by those who crave a sophisticated edge. Though some find it a bit too spicy, the overall vibe is one of refined gothic elegance, perfect for cooler weather.

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
Given its rich, warm, and somewhat dominant accords of amber and rose, this scent is best suited for evening or cooler weather. It's a strong choice for dates or formal events where it can make a statement without overwhelming. Reviewers specifically noted its suitability for colder weather.
