Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Mauresque Eau de Parfum
This is a bold, complex leather that you'll either adore or recoil from. It's an intoxicating classic that demands attention, but be warned: some find its vintage animalic edge too much to handle.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Lavande Noire Eau de Parfum
This is a gorgeous lavender and amber scent, nearly universally adored for its unique take on lavender. If only the performance lived up to the beauty, it would easily be a top shelf contender.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cuir Mauresque Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and intense, complex character make it unsuitable for office wear, but perfect for dates and evening events where its rich, sensual nature can truly shine. Casual wear could be overwhelming, and sport is a definite no-go given its heavy accords.

Lavande Noire Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its subtle projection and relaxing profile make it suitable for office and casual wear, especially in cooler weather, where it's elegant without being overwhelming. The poor longevity prevents it from being a strong contender for highly formal events, and its warmth isn't suited for sport.
