Which Should You Buy?
This is a truly divisive one, not for its scent, which is largely adored, but for its utterly ludicrous price tag. A beautifully understated smoky oud-incense, but most agree it's just not worth the wallet-emptying cost.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and refined character make it suitable for close encounters like dates or formal events. While not overpowering, its luxurious incense and oud profile might feel a bit much for a casual daytime setting, and it’s definitely not for sport.
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.
