Which Should You Buy?
A lost MFK masterpiece, and the ultimate 'man rose' for those who usually shy away from florals. This fragrance is so universally adored that people are literally begging for its return, making it perhaps the most missed discontinued scent in recent memory. If you can find it, buy it.
This is a gorgeous rose and patchouli number, absolutely adored by those who try it, but be warned: it's infamous for a vanishing act. You WILL love it, but don't expect it to stick around for long.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its sophisticated rose and patchouli blend, often described as 'classy' and 'romantic', makes it ideal for dates and formal events. While many note its presence is discreet but long-lasting, it still feels a bit too elegant for casual wear, and definitely unsuitable for sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its rich, floral-spicy profile and generally perceived weak longevity, this scent is best suited for intimate occasions where a fleeting but beautiful impression is desired, like a date or a relaxed evening out. It’s too quickly gone for a full day at the office or formal event, despite its elegant character.
