Which Should 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.
Seriously good, a proper head-turner. Ruhe smashes it with a sandalwood-leather blend that’s more addictive than it has any right to be. It's a scent that gets noticed, with a unique warmth that's clearly a crowd-pleaser.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
While not overpowering for office wear if lightly applied, its distinctive soapy character and moderate performance lend themselves better to intimate settings. Many reviews suggest it's more suited for cooler weather evenings and cozy dates rather than casual daytime or formal events.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and summer pair best.
Occasions
The woody and leathery accords, combined with good longevity and sillage reported by some, make it less ideal for a strict office environment but perfect for date nights and formal events. Its unique character also lends itself well to sophisticated casual outings.
