Which Should You Buy?
This is a beast of a fragrance with a divisive opening, but give it time to macerate and you'll be rewarded with a rich, complex, and high-quality scent. It's an undisputed crowd-pleaser for lovers of sweet, dark ouds.
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 winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its beast-mode projection and longevity make it overwhelming for an office, but perfect for dates or cold-weather nights out. The rich, sweet oud and spice blend adds a luxurious touch suitable for formal gatherings, though some may find it too casual for very strict dress codes.
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.
