Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a long haul: Galatea is a fruity-leather that demands serious maceration - we're talking months, maybe even a year - to reveal its full, genuinely impressive potential. Out of the box? Expect anything from plastic to burnt rubber.
This one is a properly divisive beast. Alexandria Orientale promises a rich, complex oud but delivers a challenging opening that will either turn heads or turn stomachs. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little room for indifference.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This powerful, long-lasting scent with moderate projection is too commanding for an office setting but perfect for dates and evening events. Its unique edgy character makes it a good fit for sophisticated casual outings, though definitely not for sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its enormous longevity and projection, this is entirely unsuitable for an office environment, where it would overwhelm. It shines brightest at formal events or on a sophisticated date night, where its strength and unique character can be appreciated.
