Which Should You Buy?
This used to be an absolute smash, a real dark horse offering luxury on a shoestring. Now? It's a genuine postcode lottery, with dodgy reformulated batches making it a total gamble. Proceed with caution - the original is a stunner, the new stuff is often rubbish.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a solid, budget-friendly nod to Amouage, while others find it an absolute dud - sour, watery, and short-lived. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it splits opinions right down the middle.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its warm, spicy, and smoky accords lend themselves well to evening wear and cooler climates, making it suitable for dates and formal events. While some find it office-friendly due to its moderate projection in certain formulations, others report it as too bold for daily wear, particularly if you land an original bottle.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate projection and somewhat divisive character make it less suitable for formal settings or the office. It's best suited for casual wear, where its unusual profile can be appreciated without overpowering others, or for a date if you're aiming for something a bit different.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Amber, Woody accords and Vetiver, Patchouli notes
