Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper chameleon; some find it a gorgeous chocolate-vanilla gourmand, others get hit with pure, unadulterated patchouli or even root beer. It's affordable, it's long-lasting, and the crowd is utterly split, so test it out first.
This is a seriously opulent wear that oozes luxury and gets noticed. Some find it a mindblowing masterpiece, while others are left cold by its strong leather and cedar. Definitely not a safe blind buy, and be warned - apparent reformulations have caused a stir among fans.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its blend of gourmand and earthy notes makes it highly versatile for casual and date wear, particularly in colder weather. While some find it office-appropriate with light application due to its nuanced sillage, its strong character might be too much for formal settings or sports.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its 'monster sillage' and long-lasting nature, Flame of Gold is too intense for office wear, though it would shine on a date or at a formal event. Its rich, enveloping accords are more suited for cooler weather and dressier occasions than casual or sport.
