Which Should You Buy?
A moody, refined take on incense and woods, Love at Your Darkest is a sophisticated, quietly powerful unisex scent. It is contemplative and enveloping, best for thoughtful evenings or crisp autumn days.
Divisive yet magnetic, Vetiver 46 is Le Labo's smoky, spicy, and often misunderstood take on vetiver. It is not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it. Expect a powerful, old-school masculine vibe that either compels or repels.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Resinous incense and cedar make this especially suitable for cooler weather, while the fresh spicy pepper gives it some flexibility for spring. Its warmth and depth are ideal for fall and winter, but it may feel too dense for hot summer days.
Occasions
Its elegant and contemplative woody-resinous signature feels at home in formal settings and evening events. It is bold enough for a date, but the spicy incense makes it less suited for sport or active daytime wear.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its powerful and long-lasting projection, coupled with its distinct woody-amber profile, makes it unsuitable for the office. However, its sophisticated and sensual nature is perfect for dates and evening events, creating a memorable aura without being overly casual.
