Which Should You Buy?
A decadent, spicy-woody vanilla that radiates opulence and sophisticated mystery. Babylon stands out with enveloping warmth and just enough sweetness, perfect for colder nights and those who crave rich, grown-up gourmand woods.
An early-Sheldrake cedar in the Salons du Palais Royal tradition - quietly grand rather than opulent, with Lutens' creamy sandalwood-amber drydown carrying a soft spice halo. Reads classy and self-possessed rather than loud.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Babylon's creamy vanilla and prominent sandalwood, coupled with rich spices, make it ideal for fall and winter when warmth and opulence shine. The intensity and sweetness may overwhelm in summer, but it performs well in the chill of spring or cool evenings.
Occasions
Its pronounced warmth, vanilla, and woody character suit evening, formal, and date settings where its richness can be appreciated. It is less suited for sport or hot office days due to intensity and projection.
Seasons
Cedar-spice and warm sandalwood-amber are autumn and winter naturals; the heaviness reads out of place in summer and only edges into spring on cooler days.
Occasions
Quietly composed and mature - well suited to date and formal evening wear, with office viable for those who like a discreet warm cedar signature. Too distinctive for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
