Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent for the true lovers of the outdoors, this woody-aromatic gem captures the essence of a serene forest walk, and for some, an unpleasant hamster cage.
A truly unique green-amber scent that divides opinion but clearly captivates. It's either an addictive, mysterious forest floor dream or a cloying, messy confusion. Try before you buy, if you can even find it given its cult-favourite discontinued status.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and clean, natural aroma make it suitable for casual wear or the office. However, its poor longevity and non-traditional scent profile make it less ideal for formal events or a lasting impression on a date.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, combined with its distinct, somewhat 'gothic' woody-amber character, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its complex blend is highly appropriate for evening dates and formal events, though some find it versatile enough for sophisticated casual wear.
