Which Should You Buy?
A Drop d'Issey is a radiant, contemporary floral with a dreamy lilac-almond core, wrapped in soft musk and a creamy, almost transparent sweetness. Understated yet memorable, it is the essence of gentle modern femininity.
Stercus is a deeply polarising one. Some reckon it's a dirty, animalic masterpiece with a sweet side, while others find it a challenging, even fecal, ordeal. This isn't a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a captivating beast.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The airy, floral, and fresh almond-milk character is ideal for spring and summer, while the musky-vanillic drydown gives it some versatility for early fall. Its light, breezy structure feels less suited for cold winter days.
Occasions
Soft projection and clean, fresh musky-floral notes make it perfect for office and casual wear. Its subtle powdery sweetness is inviting for close encounters or dates but too understated for formal or sporty scenarios.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its nuclear performance and intense, animalic oud make it unsuitable for an office or sports. However, its dark, sensual nature suits evening dates and formal events, though some find it wearable casually in cooler weather.
