Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Infrarouge Extrait
This raspberry leather-oud hybrid is a properly divisive beast. Some find it a sophisticated, juicy leather dream, others a harsh, synthetic nightmare. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it are absolutely obsessed.

Our Verdict - Arsenic Osman Extreme Extrait
This osmanthus-led beast is either a divisive makeup bag accord or a multi-faceted, fruity-floral dream; a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Definitely one to try before you buy, but don't expect it to be a quiet one.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cuir Infrarouge Extrait

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong, distinctive scent profile, this is definitely not an office-friendly fragrance. It shines brightest on dates or formal evening events where its bold and sensual character can truly stand out, though some find it a bit much even for a casual night out.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its 'Extreme' designation, strong sillage, and polarizing nature, this is unsuitable for the office. Its bold, multifaceted character and reported longevity make it perfect for dates and evening formal events, while being a bit much for casual wear.
