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.
This is a seriously spicy amber that leans into comforting warmth rather than cloying sweetness. Don't blind buy, though - it's a cold-weather specialist and a powerhouse that demands respect for its potent cinnamon and clove. It's often compared to Tobacco Vanille, but with an extra kick of ginger.
