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 one's a real head-scratcher and not for the faint-hearted. It’s a polarizing blend of festive comfort and something unexpectedly medicinal, leaving some enchanted by its quirky charm and others reaching for the nearest air freshener. Definitely try before you buy, unless you fancy smelling like a Christmas pomander at the dentist.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm spicy and amber accords make it ideal for dates and casual wear, providing a comforting yet alluring presence. While long-lasting, the moderate sillage keeps it from being overwhelming for more formal settings, though its distinct cinnamon profile might still draw attention in the office.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its unique and often described as 'medicinal' or 'aftershave-like' spicy freshness, combined with moderate projection and a somewhat intimate sillage, make it less suited for formal or office settings. However, its festive and quirky nature makes it a good fit for casual outings, especially during cooler seasons, or even for a date if you want to make a memorable, if potentially odd, impression.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Citrus accords and Clove notes
