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.
Seriously, the hype is real with Charisma Pour Homme; it's a stellar Elixir-alike that delivers way above its price point. It's a sweet, attention-grabbing monster that will have you smelling delicious.

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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Charisma Pour Homme's strong sillage and sweet profile make it less suitable for office environments, but it shines on dates and casual outings where its alluring projection will gather compliments. It leans too warm and heavy for active wear, but could pass for a more relaxed formal event.
