Which Should You Buy?
This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either find it a seductive, dark, and elegant lavender masterpiece or a surprisingly unoriginal 'dad's aftershave' that's overtly masculine. It's certainly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little middle ground.
A truly gorgeous, understated almond musk that's polarising - you'll either adore its clean, subtly sweet cosiness or find it too faint and a bit 'baby wipes'. Either way, it's a comforting scent for you, and only you.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate to strong projection and dark, sensual accords make it less suitable for office wear. However, its sophisticated and seductive nature, often described as 'dark and sexy,' clearly lends itself to romantic dates and formal evening events. For casual wear, it depends on whether you prefer to make a statement.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and clean, soft character make it ideal for office wear and casual settings where you want to smell put-together without being intrusive. Conversely, its minimal projection makes it less suitable for formal events or sports, where a more impactful scent is often desired. Many reviewers highlight its suitability as a 'bedtime scent' or for 'cozy days in'.
