Which Should You Buy?
A divisive blend, Aurum swings between a luxurious rose-oud and a saccharine gourmand. Some love the opulent sweetness, others find it too rosy, even cloying. Best for those who enjoy a statement scent with powerful, long-lasting presence.
Petra is a grown-up amber-fruity treat, doing the Coco Mademoiselle thing but with far more depth and a luxurious, playful edge. It's a polarizing beast for some, but generally lauded as a sophisticated compliment-getter.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Aurum is best suited for evening wear or special occasions where it can truly shine without overwhelming. Its rich, sensual character makes it a superb choice for dates or formal events, but it's generally too imposing for an office environment or casual daytime use.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its strong projection and rich, resinous character make it less suitable for the office and sports. However, its sophisticated warmth and sensual depth are perfect for dates and evening formal events, while still versatile enough for a confident casual wear.
