Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chergui EDP
Chergui is divisive - a curious, compelling classic that evokes strong feelings, from adoration to polite dismissal. Some find it a masterpiece of honeyed tobacco, others a challenging, powdery affair, but it certainly isn't boring.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Odéon EDP
Divisive, love-it-or-hate-it. Odéon is either a divine, sophisticated rose-amber or 'another sweet rose' that's been done before. Expect comparisons to other popular rose fragrances, so sniff before you splurge.

Season and Occasion Fit

Chergui

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent. The honey-tobacco-amber heart and powdery sandalwood drydown read thick and warming on cool skin, with wearers consistently citing fall and winter as primary seasons. Spring evenings work; hot summer days do not.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, contemplative character and arm's-length sillage make it a strong pick for date nights and formal cool-weather evenings, with comfortable casual winter wear. Too dense and divisive for the office and entirely unsuited to sport.

Odéon

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, warm, and somewhat sweet profile, along with good performance, makes it perfect for date nights and formal events. While some find it too potent for the office, its refined nature allows for versatility in more casual, cooler settings, as long as it's applied lightly.
