Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fancy Nights
Fancy Nights is the ultimate love-it-or-hate-it scent. Forget saccharine celeb fare; this is a potent, earthy patchouli bomb, challenging but endlessly rewarding for those who 'get it'.

Our Verdict - Vert des Bois
Vert des Bois is a divisive beast: some hail it as a unique masterpiece, an ethereal green dream; others find it a challenging, even medicinal, misstep. It's an acquired taste, but for those who get it, it's a bold confidence booster.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fancy Nights

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its exceptional longevity and significant sillage, combined with its strong, earthy character, make it less suitable for office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. However, its deep, mysterious qualities make it perfect for date nights and formal evening events, particularly in cooler weather.

Vert des Bois

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Given its strong opening and significant projection, Vert des Bois is probably a bit much for the office. It's excellent for dates or evening casual wear, as its unique character sparks conversation. While some find it suitable for formal settings, its quirky nature might not suit every occasion, and it's definitely not for sport.
