Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for deja vu, because Byredo Sellier is basically Santal 33's edgy, leather-clad sibling. It's a divisive one - some adore its sophisticated, smoky depth, others find it shockingly similar to its famous cousin, often for a much higher price tag. Not a safe blind buy, but if you want to be the 'King of Assholes,' fill your boots.
This one's a proper mixed bag - some swear by it, others reckon it's a generic let-down. If you're after a budget-friendly spicy leather that leans youthful and don't mind reapplying, give it a sniff. But don't expect anything groundbreaking from this divisive scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong, smoky leather profile and often reported good longevity and sillage for a Byredo, Sellier might be too imposing for the office. It truly shines in evening settings, be it a sophisticated date or a formal event, where its luxurious warmth can make a statement. Some reviews indicate casual winter wear, but its intensity limits versatility.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh-spicy-leather profile make it suitable for casual wear or the office, as it's unlikely to offend. However, its perceived youthfulness and lack of depth limit its use for formal events and more intimate date settings. Given its weak longevity on many, it's also a good gym scent.
