Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for division: Fortis is a moody, woody beast that delivers a dark, sensual punch. While some find it a softer, more wearable ode to Black Afgano, others dismiss it as a mere imitation. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but undeniably captivating.
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.

Occasions
Given its strong, woody, and spicy character, Fortis is best reserved for evening dates and formal events where its richness can shine. Its intensity makes it less suitable for casual daytime wear or office environments, and definitely not for sport.
