Which Should You Buy?
A truly luxurious and sophisticated leather amber, Saint Sulpice strikes a beautiful balance between warmth and refinement. It's a scent that smells expensive, for those who don't mind the price tag. Just be aware, some find it a bit too tonka-heavy.
No. 387 borrows the saffron-rose-oud-tonka blueprint of Montale's Arabians Tonka, but trades the original's famously nuclear projection and 12-hour longevity for a much softer, sweeter, shorter-lived version. The oud reads thinner and more synthetic here, and the caramelised sugar base is pushed louder to compensate, so it leans gourmand-amber rather than the original's dense, resinous oud-rose. A reasonable taste of the style at a fraction of the projection.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent performance and rich leather and amber accords make it less suitable for the office, but ideal for dates and formal occasions. The fragrance is too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport due to its intense projection and longevity.
Seasons
A sweet, resinous oud-and-tonka composition is built for cold-weather richness; the sugared amber base would feel cloying in summer heat.
Occasions
The oud-rose-tonka combination is too dense and sweet for daytime office wear, but its opulence suits evening dates and dressier occasions.
