Is Crying of Evil suitable for warm weather?+−
Given its heavy resinous base of amber and frankincense, most find it overwhelming in the heat. It is best suited for the crisp air of autumn or the cold of winter, where its spicy and leathery notes can unfold without becoming cloying.
How does the leather note compare to other fragrances?+−
The leather here is smoky and spicy rather than birch-tar heavy or animalic. The addition of sandalwood and violet gives the leather a smooth, velvety texture that makes it more wearable than harsher, more industrial leather scents.
Can this fragrance be worn in a professional or business setting?+−
While some wear it for business, its potent sillage and dark, spicy profile make it more of a "statement" scent. It is generally better suited for social evening events, nights out, or situations where you want your fragrance to be noticed.
Is this a feminine or masculine scent?+−
It is classified as a fragrance for both men and women. The floral notes of tuberose and violet provide a feminine touch, while the spices, leather, and patchouli ground it in a way that many find traditionally masculine.
