Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper spicy amber floral that splits the room; some swear by its classic elegance, others find it too 'old-school' or 'medicinal'. Definitely not for everyone, so sample first.
An oriental floral interpretation of Xerjoff Casamorati 1888, opening with a saffron-pepper spice over a ylang-rose heart and a patchouli-amber-sandalwood base.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and rich, spicy-amber profile make it too much for the office. However, it's perfect for formal events and dates, with many reviewers praising its luxurious and head-turning quality.
Seasons
The saffron-clove top and patchouli-amber-sandalwood base sit firmly in the warm-spicy woody zone that flourishes in cold weather and reads heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Moderate-to-strong projection and warm oriental shape make it a confident evening, date and dressier-formal pick; too heavy for sport and a touch much for warm-weather office.
