Which Should You Buy?
This one's a true classic, an approachable Serge Lutens that showcases cinnamon in its purest, warmest form. It's a crowd-pleaser that evokes strong feelings of cosy nostalgia, though some find its linearity a bit much. A real shame it's so hard to find now.
A divisive boozy gourmand that some find utterly glorious and others can't stand. If you love a rich, spicy, and sweet scent, particularly in winter, this could be your new favourite. However, a jarring cumin note for some means it's not a safe blind buy.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong projection and rich, boozy gourmand accords make it less suitable for the office. However, it's perfect for intimate date nights or casual winter evenings due to its cosy and sensual nature. It's a bit too heavy for formal wear, leaning more towards a relaxed, indulgent atmosphere.
