Which Should You Buy?
Don't let the name fool you, there's nothing 'blue' about this. It's a big, loud amber-caramel scent with beast-mode performance that's bound to turn heads. Some find it a touch synthetic, but if you love bold, sweet woody fragrances, this is a crowd-pleaser and excellent value.
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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and longevity make it inappropriate for most office settings, but it's a stellar choice for evening dates due to its seductive warmth. It can be worn casually, especially in colder weather, and might suit certain formal occasions if applied with a very light hand. Definitely avoid for sport.
