Which Should You Buy?
A truly luxurious and sophisticated leather amber, Saint Sulpice strikes a beautiful balance between warmth and refinement. It's a scent that smells expensive, for those who don't mind the price tag. Just be aware, some find it a bit too tonka-heavy.
A budget read of YSL's 6 Place Saint Sulpice - that refined, buttery-dry saffron-and-leather built on warm labdanum. Sulpice Spice keeps the spicy-leather core but pushes the saffron and sweetness forward via the tonka, trading the original's quiet, intellectual balance for something warmer and more obvious. Still a handsome, grown-up leather for cold-weather evenings.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent performance and rich leather and amber accords make it less suitable for the office, but ideal for dates and formal occasions. The fragrance is too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport due to its intense projection and longevity.
Seasons
Warm saffron, leather and labdanum radiate cold-weather depth, sitting best in autumn and winter; the spicy-resinous weight feels heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Refined and a little sensual, it suits evenings, formal occasions and the office more than casual or sporty settings.
