Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Virtue
This one's a bit of a slow burn, but give it time. Virtue starts a touch rough around the edges, but quickly settles into a long-lasting, sophisticated oud-rose profile that's definitely a head-turner.

Our Verdict - Jean Lowe Noir
Jean Lowe Noir is a truly divisive scent; some laud its beast-mode performance and opulent rose-oud blend, while others recoil from its initial harshness. It’s definitely not a blind buy, but if it clicks with you, prepare for compliments and an air of intense mystery.

Season and Occasion Fit

Virtue

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage mean Virtue fills a room, making it less suitable for office environments. However, these same traits, combined with its luxurious amber-oud character, make it a superb choice for evening dates and formal events.

Jean Lowe Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong, dark accords like oud, amber, and smoke, this fragrance is unsuitable for office or casual wear. It excels in formal or evening date settings where its bold projection can truly shine without overpowering. Many reviews note its intensity, suggesting it's best for occasions where you want to make a statement.
