Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Magie Noire Eau de Toilette

A bewitching chypre that commands attention, Magie Noire is vintage glamour incarnate. Green, mossy woods and dark resins swirl with florals for a haunting, enigmatic statement.

Statement

Our Verdict - Bandit Eau de Parfum

Bandit is a brazen, unapologetically 'vintage' leather chypre. It's wildly divisive - some find it a masterful, sexy statement, others a screeching, dank relic. Definitely not a blind buy, this one's for the bold.

Season and Occasion Fit

Magie Noire Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Oakmoss, patchouli and resinous notes thrive in cool weather, making Magie Noire perfect for fall and winter. Its richness and warmth suit chilly evenings, but the green and floral edges make it wearable in spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Best suited for formal or evening occasions due to its opulent, bold character and pronounced sillage. Too commanding for sporty or daily office settings, but has a deeply romantic vintage allure for nights out.

Bandit Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and distinct, 'challenging' character make it less suitable for office or casual wear. This is a showstopper best reserved for evenings, dates, or formal events where its commanding presence can truly shine without overpowering. The animalic and leather accords lend themselves to a confident, evening setting.
