Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Five O'Clock Au Gingembre
This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either get a sublime, sophisticated spiced tea experience that's both comforting and unique, or you'll be smelling varnish, play-doh, or even straight-up cat pee. Definitely sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit

Five O'Clock Au Gingembre

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and lack of strong projection make it subtle enough for office wear, though some find it too 'grown-up'. The warm, spicy accords with a touch of sweetness lend themselves well to casual and date settings, while its unique sophistication allows for formal wear. It's far too mellow for sport.
