Which Should You Buy?
This one's divisive, love it or hate it - but if you dare, it's a deep, dark rose with a metallic edge, utterly captivating for those after something gothic and unique. Not for everyone, but unforgettable.
No.299 leans on the same rose-forward structure that makes Serge Lutens' La Fille de Berlin so intense, but softens the original's almost brutal rose overdose into something gentler. A pleasant rose-patchouli scent that trades the niche's outrageous sillage for something more wearable day to day.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While some find it wearable for casual settings, its intensity and bold character make it less suitable for a typical office environment. The deep rose and honey accords, often described as 'vampiric' or 'gothic', position it perfectly for date nights and formal events, though some note longevity issues.
