Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Paper
This one's a wild card, isn't it? Commodity Paper- is the 'your skin but better' scent that sparks both adoration and utter confusion. Some find it a clean, comforting embrace, others pick up straight-up hand sanitiser or the sterile zing of a fresh printer ream. If you're anosmic to Iso E Super, you'll be missing the party.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Bois Noir
Bois Noir is a divisive, woody beast - a sophisticated autumn walk in a bottle for some, an acrid, headache-inducing pencil shaving for others. Try before you buy, but if the dark woods speak to you, it's a stellar, unique choice.

Season and Occasion Fit

Paper

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its intimate sillage and clean, non-offensive profile make it perfect for the office or casual daily wear, where it enhances your natural scent subtly. While some find it sexy for a date, its lack of strong projection makes it less ideal for formal events where a more impactful scent might be preferred. It also fares well as a gym scent, mixing pleasantly with skin chemistry.

Bois Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This is a strong, dark woody scent more suited for cooler weather and evening wear. Its intensity and resinous nature make it less appropriate for everyday office use or sporty activities, but perfect for a formal event or a mysterious date night.
