Which Should You Buy?
This is a beast of a fragrance with a divisive opening, but give it time to macerate and you'll be rewarded with a rich, complex, and high-quality scent. It's an undisputed crowd-pleaser for lovers of sweet, dark ouds.
Labdanum 18 is a divisive animalic musk that's either a cosy, sophisticated baby powder bomb or a challenging, almost offensive 'petting zoo' scent. It's not for everyone, but if it works with your skin chemistry, it's an addictive and much-loved modern classic.

Occasions
Its warmth, sweetness, and prominent animalic notes make it better suited for intimate dates or formal evening wear rather than a professional office. While some find it comforting casually, its intensity can be too much for everyday wear or active sport.
