Which Should You Buy?
A regal rose cloaked in spicy incense and velvet patchouli, Portrait of a Lady is commanding, opulent, and deeply sensual. Not for the timid, but unforgettable for those who want to leave a legacy.
Rudis is an absolute beast: a divisive, challenging, and utterly captivating scent that's either 'vile' and 'revolting' or an intoxicating journey through boozy leather and dried fruit. A true love-it-or-hate-it rebel for those who dare.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The rich, spicy, and ambery character is ideal for cooler weather, with opulent rose and incense blooming in fall and winter. It can work in spring when applied lightly, but is often too intense for hot summer days.
Occasions
This commanding, sensual fragrance is best suited for formal events or romantic evenings, where its projection and complexity shine. Its boldness can overwhelm in professional or sporty settings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
The boozy, heavy nature of Rudis, with dominant leather and warm spicy accords, makes it unsuitable for office or casual wear. It shines on dates and formal occasions due to its complex, luxurious, and bold character, as many reviewers indicate it's 'date wear' or suited for 'formal settings'.
