Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper divisive brew. Some find it a comforting, grown-up gourmand with nuanced coffee and biscuit notes, others get a headache inducing grape soda or even cat pee. Definitely don't blind buy unless you fancy a gamble.
A budget take on Kerosene's Followed - the same bitter coffee melting into caramel, chocolate and vanilla. Followed Noir captures the cosy gourmand DNA but tames the original's legendary, room-filling performance into something far closer to the skin.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its sweet gourmand profile and varying reports of sillage, it's best suited for casual wear and dates where a softer, comforting presence is desired. Its limited projection often means it won't overwhelm, making it just about acceptable for some office environments but definitely not for sporting activities.
Seasons
A heavy coffee-caramel gourmand that belongs in autumn and winter; warm weather turns it cloying.
Occasions
Cosy and sweet, it suits date nights, evenings and casual cold-weather wear more than the office or sport.
