Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Foresta Magica Extrait

A truly unique green, citrusy fragrance that masterfully balances a vibrant freshness with an intriguing, subtle depth. It's divisive; some love its complexity, while others find it a bit too much or too tart. Experience it for yourself to see if you're in the 'love' camp.

Our Verdict - Ether Parfum

Ether is a genuinely polarised scent. For some, it's a masterpiece of nuanced oud and caramel; for others, it's an unqualified scrubber that smells like a particularly bad trip to the toilet. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a bit of olfactory Russian roulette.

Season and Occasion Fit

Foresta Magica Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, energetic, and slightly unique profile makes it highly versatile for casual wear and suitable for dates. While office-appropriate in moderation, its bolder character might be a bit much for very formal events. The fresh accords also make it a decent choice for sport, though some might find the woody base too heavy.

Ether Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

With strong projection and long-lasting performance, Ether is too assertive for the office. Its complex, oud-centric profile and sweet, gourmand undertones make it perfect for dates and evening formal events, while being a bit much for casual daytime wear or anything physical.
