Which Should You Buy?
A sumptuous, unapologetically rich amber that radiates dark resinous warmth and creamy vanilla - not for the faint of heart, but magnetic in cold weather or after dark.
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either adore its dense, spicy oud or find it a monochromatic bore. Some reckon it's a rose impostor, while others just get sweaty dental offices. Approach with an open mind, but don't say we didn't warn you about the polarising aroma.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Its rich, warm amber, resins and vanilla make it ideal for cold weather and autumnal chill, while the depth and boldness can feel too heavy in summer. Spring evenings suit its opulence, but heat may overwhelm.
Occasions
The scent's bold, luxurious and sensual character excels in formal and evening settings or romantic dates, but may overwhelm in close office or sporty scenarios.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its dense, oriental profile and strong presence make it too much for the typical office. It excels on dates and formal evenings where its luxurious, sensual character can truly shine. For casual wear, it's a bit heavy unless you're aiming for a very specific mood.
