Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong, long-lasting projection and bold character, Soir d'Orient is best reserved for evening and formal events, or intimate dates. It's far too intense for casual wear or the office, as many reviewers note it's a 'scent bomb' demanding of its wearer.

Casual

Given its deep, resinous, and woody character, Aquilaria is best suited for evenings and formal events. While potent, it's a bit much for the office but could work casually if applied lightly.
