Which Should You Buy?
Don't let the 'Intense' fool you. This isn't your traditional in-your-face leather. It's a divisive scent; some find it a sophisticated, soft leather floral, while others are baffled by its subtlety, expecting something bolder. Definitely one to try before you buy.
Divisive, soapy, and unexpectedly gentle for its name, Diabolique is a woody-spicy Oriental that some find comforting and others just can't stand. Expect a clean, powdery iris alongside a warm, balsamic depth.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its moderate projection and refined, soft leather-floral profile, it's very suitable for office wear. While pleasant, it might lack the 'oomph' for a formal event unless you prefer a subtle statement, and its delicate nature means it's not well suited for sport.
