Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lui Rochas
This discontinued gem is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but fans rave about its unique blend of citrus and warm woods. Expect a truly opulent men's scent that sadly, you'll have to hunt down.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Rán
This one's a proper dark horse, blending zest with serious depth. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're after something with a bit of edge and mystery, Rán delivers a uniquely compelling scent that stands out from the crowd.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lui Rochas

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its noted longevity and strong sillage, along with its rich, warm accords, make it more suited for evenings and special occasions. The blend of citrus and woody notes also lends itself well to casual wear, although it might be a bit much for a formal office setting.

Rán

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The cedar-incense-patchouli base reads strongest in cold weather, with the smoky accord supporting late autumn and winter wear. Bergamot and tangerine open keeps it from feeling oppressive; summer is too warm for the resin density.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sophisticated woody and amber accords, coupled with a hint of smokiness, make it suitable for evenings and more dressed-up occasions. While not overpowering, its distinct character might be a bit much for a formal office setting, but it works well for a date or a night out.
