Which Should You Buy?
This extrait is a beast-mode saffron bomb with a divisive metallic edge. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that screams luxury and confident intensity, but definitely not for the faint of heart or those prone to headaches.
Squid is a wild ride, a deeply polarising scent that you'll either adore as a masterpiece of dark, oceanic artistry or despise as an utter abomination. It's an immersive experience, not just a perfume, but definitely not one for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
This extrait is incredibly potent with beast-mode projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office environment where it could easily overwhelm. However, its luxurious, sophisticated character makes it a superb choice for dates and formal events. You might get away with it casually with minimal sprays, but it's too much for active wear.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique, challenging profile, often described as 'otherworldly' and 'deep sea', make it unsuitable for typical office wear. It shines in formal or date settings, particularly in the evening, where its mystery and sophistication can be appreciated without overwhelming a casual daytime environment. Some find it cosy for personal wear, but it's not a go-to casual scent for being around others.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Balsamic, Warm Spicy accords and Musk notes
