Which Should You Buy?
This Rikyiel scent is divisive; some adore its rich, cognac-like facets, while others find its intensity suffocating and 'old-fashioned.' It's a statement scent, clearly not for those who prefer understated fragrances.
This discontinued gem is a festive, unique, and polarising treat. Expect a bold, tart rhubarb opening that either delights or divides, mellowing into a sweet, spicy vanilla that evokes warm, cozy Christmas memories for its fervent fans.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong projection and gourmand notes make it quite present, pushing it away from office wear. However, its warming sweetness and sophisticated oriental character lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, particularly in colder weather.
