Which Should You Buy?
Serge Noire is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a challenging opening that veers into body odour territory for some, but if you can push through, it transforms into an incredibly deep, sexy, and artistic blend of dark spices and woods. Definitely not a blind buy.
Sceptre Amazonite is a beast - a highly divisive, potent oud and spice bomb. It's either a luxurious, dark masterpiece or a 'rotting corpse' on your skin. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The explosive clove-cinnamon spice over a smoky incense and resinous woody drydown reads heaviest in winter, the anchor season, with autumn a close extension. The heat and density keep it well off the spring and summer shelves.
Occasions
A pushy, artistic statement scent with strong projection suits date nights and formal cool-weather evenings where presence is welcome. The challenging, near-savoury opening makes it a poor office or sport choice.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
With its insane projection and longevity, this beast-mode fragrance is far too potent for the office. It thrives in cooler weather, making it ideal for date nights where its sensual, mysterious aura can shine, or formal events where it commands attention, but its animalic nature makes it unsuitable for casual or sport wear.
