Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Datura Noir Eau de Parfum

This Serge Lutens classic is a creamy, sweet tuberose that manages to be both comforting and subtly seductive. It's divisive only in its perceived strength and coconut-to-tuberose ratio - some find it fleeting, others a tropical dream.

Our Verdict - Black Sesame Extrait

This one is a divisive but intriguing floral gourmand. Some rave it's an addictive, compliment-getting marvel; others find its performance just alright, leaving them on the fence about a full bottle. Definitely sample it to see if it grabs you.

Best For:

Date Formal

Casual

Its moderate projection and noticeable presence make it a bit much for the office but perfect for dates and evening events. The unique gourmand-floral blend, particularly with the dark chocolate and amaretto, makes it more suited for cooler weather and dressier occasions.
