Which Should You Buy?
An honest favourite from the Section d'Or - immortelle and black licorice over a Lutens signature base of dried fruits, cedar, and balsamic resins. Sweet, smoky, oriental, addictive; functionally collector-only today.
This is a seriously polarising scent, loved by many for its unique take on tobacco, but others are left cold by what they perceive as an overwhelming clove note or disappointing performance. Don't blind buy; this is one you need to sniff out for yourself for fear of 'clove shock'.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Immortelle-licorice-resin density and the maple-syrup sweetness read warmest in autumn and winter; far too rich for warm-weather wear and the spices push it out of summer entirely.
Occasions
Sweet-smoky-oriental character fits formal evenings and dinners well, with date wear in cooler weather; not for office, sport, or casual daytime where the immortelle reads too distinctive.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent spicy tobacco and sweet accords lean this towards evenings and cooler weather. While some find it office-appropriate due to moderate sillage after initial hours, it's best suited for dates, casual outings, or even semi-formal events where its rich character can shine without overwhelming those around you.
