Which Should You Buy?
This EDT is a divisive beast: some rave about its fresh, creamy spice, others smell cleaning products or worse. Despite the controversy, its impressive performance for an EDT makes it a cult classic, with many finding it a sophisticated, sexy signature scent.
Prepare for divisiveness with Brocard's Tartufo. Some say it's an affordable Black Orchid alternative for the dry, woody crowd, others get pickle juice and cat fur. It's a true love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its impressive longevity and sillage, even as an EDT, make it versatile for most occasions but might be a bit much for a conservative office. The 'sexy, mysterious' vibe and creamy woods make it ideal for dates and special evenings, while its freshness allows for daytime and casual wear.
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Tartufo's woody, animalic character with good sillage and longevity leans it away from casual daytime wear or the office. It's better suited for evenings, dates, or formal gatherings where its unique depth can be appreciated. Many reviewers highlight its autumnal, cozy feel, making it great for cooler weather.
