Our Verdict - Five O'Clock Au Gingembre Eau de Parfum

This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either get a sublime, sophisticated spiced tea experience that's both comforting and unique, or you'll be smelling varnish, play-doh, or even straight-up cat pee. Definitely sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit

Legacy of Petra Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Legacy of Petra's resinous warmth and spicy sweetness excel in cool to cold weather, especially autumn, while its depth and richness can also comfort on winter days. The spice and faint freshness from bergamot and tea allow use in early spring, but the opulence is less suited to hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its moderate projection and rich, spicy character work best for sophisticated dates, elegant evenings, or formal events. It can be worn casually by those who love orientals, but is too complex and enveloping for sporty or very informal settings.

Five O'Clock Au Gingembre Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and lack of strong projection make it subtle enough for office wear, though some find it too 'grown-up'. The warm, spicy accords with a touch of sweetness lend themselves well to casual and date settings, while its unique sophistication allows for formal wear. It's far too mellow for sport.
