Which Should You Buy?
Serge Noire is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a challenging opening that veers into body odour territory for some, but if you can push through, it transforms into an incredibly deep, sexy, and artistic blend of dark spices and woods. Definitely not a blind buy.
If you're after a warm, spicy oud that manages to be both smooth and intriguing, this is definitely one to sniff out. It's got that undeniable unisex appeal, offering a rich but surprisingly wearable oriental experience.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent, polarising opening and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, but its intriguing, confident dry-down is perfect for dates and evening events. The intensity could overwhelm in casual settings, and it's far too heavy for sport.
