Which Should You Buy?
A creamy vanilla heart over patchouli, sandalwood and cedar with a quiet smoky thread. Smoky Vanille is the budget take on the cosy-vanilla-woody mood, built for cool-weather evenings.
This one's a true beast, powerful and uncompromising. Le Lion is a masterclass in challenging elegance, it's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but if it clicks, it truly roars. Definitely not for the fainthearted; it demands a wearer who can match its gravitas.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A creamy vanilla-woody base with smoky patchouli wears at its best in cold weather; the rich gourmand register reads heavy in summer and feels right for autumn and winter cocooning.
Occasions
Cosy smoky-vanilla intimacy is built for date nights and casual evenings; the rich projection is too warm for sport and reads close in office settings, while the gourmand sweetness fits formal cool-weather wear.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense amber-woody character make it too much for the office. However, its luxurious and commanding presence is perfect for formal events and an intimate, powerful statement on a date. It's too weighty for casual or sport wear.
