Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a crowd-pleaser for sure. Bad Lad Pour Homme is a strong, sweet-spicy take on a popular scent DNA, delivering fantastic performance at a bargain price. If you like your fragrances bold and unapologetic, this is for you.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong sillage and longevity make it less suitable for the office, but perfect for dates and casual outings where you want to make an impression. The warm, sweet spice profile lends itself well to evenings and cooler weather, making it versatile for various social settings.
