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.
Sinai City chases MiN New York's Dahab - that deep aquatic-incense opening turning into spicy saffron, oud and smoky woods. Wearers call it a solid likeness that lasts about as long as the original, though the Dahab stays a little more airy and elegant where the dupe leans heavier and earthier.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The explosive clove-cinnamon spice over a smoky incense and resinous woody drydown reads heaviest in winter, the anchor season, with autumn a close extension. The heat and density keep it well off the spring and summer shelves.
Occasions
A pushy, artistic statement scent with strong projection suits date nights and formal cool-weather evenings where presence is welcome. The challenging, near-savoury opening makes it a poor office or sport choice.
Seasons
The smoky incense, saffron and oud are firmly cold-weather territory and feel heavy in heat.
Occasions
Bold and ritualistic - it suits evenings, formal occasions and dates over daytime or sport.
