Which Should You Buy?
Voleur de Roses is a divisive beast: an earthy, gothic take on rose and patchouli that some adore as a masterpiece, while others find it a damp, mouldy mess. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent with a uniquely dark charm that's certainly not for the faint of heart.
Don't let the name fool you - this is a dewy, jammy rose, not an incense bomb. It's a divisive scent; some find it a gorgeous, subtle rose, others are left wanting more complexity and projection. If you like rose-patchouli, it may be for you.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold, earthy rose and patchouli character, combined with reports of moderate to good longevity, make it a bit much for the office. However, its dark and sensual nature means it truly shines as a date night or formal evening scent. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling a bit edgy, but sport is a definite no-go.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its subtle sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office, everyday casual wear, and intimate dates. The sweet, dewy rose character, rather than a bold or strong projection, means it's less ideal for formal events or sports.
