Which Should You Buy?
This one is pure chaos in a bottle. Fantomas is a truly divisive scent, smelling like sickly sweet melon and burnt plastic one moment, then morphing into metallic gunpowder and clean rubber the next. It's a challenging, art-house fragrance, so definitely sample before you dive in. Not for the faint of heart.
This Sceptre is a smooth operator - a delicious, fruity-sweet leather bomb that punches way above its weight. Don't let the price fool you; this is a seriously well-blended, powerful fragrance destined to become a cult favourite.

Occasions
Fantomas is nuclear in projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for most office environments. Its unique and polarising character makes it better for casual outings or dates where you want to make a statement, rather than formal events.
