Bitter with You inspired by Stronger With You (Limited Edition) is LUNAR & CO.'s warm, slightly spicy take on that scent. It opens with pink pepper, cardamom and violet leaves, then sage and a touch of melon sit in the middle before vanilla, chestnut and cedarwood take over the base. It stays on the grown-up side of sweet, which is why I'd point people to it if they like vanilla but don't want a dessert in a bottle.
When to Wear It
Bitter with You is an easy one to wear. Cooler days, the office, casual dinners, it all works, and the cardamom stops the chestnut getting too sweet. I'd go for two or three sprays in autumn and winter, and maybe one in spring. Probably not my first pick for a humid summer day. If you like the spice, Ani'Shane is a close cousin, and our cologne for men collection has more to compare.
