Which Should You Buy?
Kemi is absolute Marmite in a bottle. You'll either love its hardcore animalic oud that dries down to a sweet, woody complexity, or you'll think it smells like an incontinent farm animal. Definitely not for the fainthearted or blind buyers.
Divisive yet undeniably Tauer, SHADID delivers a creamy, animalic leather with his signature dry, airy sweetness. Some find it disjointed, others a masterclass in modern musky ambergris - it's a 'love it or leave it' affair.

Occasions
Its heavy, dark, and long-lasting animalic and leathery nature makes it unsuitable for the office or sport. However, its boldness and depth make it ideal for a memorable date night or a formal evening event where opulence is desired, especially in cooler weather.
