Which Should You Buy?
This is a masterpiece, a leather Chypre that's complex and high quality but wears with understated elegance rather than shouting. Definitely not for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore it.
This is a bold, complex scent that manages to be both dirty and sweet. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, with many finding it an intriguing masterpiece but some not impressed by the repetition of Roja's signature oud-like accords.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Given its long-lasting scent and moderate projection, this fragrance is perfect for formal events and romantic evenings where its complexity can be appreciated without being overwhelming. It's too refined for casual wear and definitely not suitable for the gym, but could work in a professional setting if applied lightly.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its powerful performance and bold, animalic character, this perfume is best reserved for evening and special occasions where it can truly shine without overwhelming. Its complexity and richness make it unsuitable for daily office wear or casual daytime activities.
