East vs Select

Shared character

Both fragrances share Ambrox as a core note, are classified as woody, and carry fruity nuances within a woody‑ambery (oriental) family framework.

How they differ

East and Select both feature Ambrox and sit in the woody‑ambery (oriental) family, but their scent architectures diverge sharply. East adds leather, oud/agarwood, raspberry and the proprietary Oud Assafi™ and leans into sweet, oriental and leathery accords. Select, by contrast, builds on bergamot, apple, blackcurrant (bud and fruit), peppermint and aromatic notes, delivering citrus, fresh and synthetic‑style accords. Community scores also differ, with East at 8.7 versus Select at 7.5.

Who each suits

East suits wearers who gravitate toward deep, smoky‑leathery compositions with gourmand touches—those who enjoy oud, leather and richer amber tones. Select suits individuals preferring brighter, fresher profiles—citrus‑forward, fruity‑green scents with a modern, slightly synthetic edge.
