Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gold EDP
A divisive beast of a scent, 24 Gold is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent sillage and longevity, but be warned: some batches might be weaker and recent reformulations have caused a stir among fans.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 301 sandalwood, amber, cardamom EDP
This woody-spicy number pulls off 'minimal with depth' effortlessly. It's a creamy sandalwood dream, spiced just right by cardamom, but don't expect it to shout. It's an intimate experience, gorgeous but a bit of a wallflower when it comes to performance.

Season and Occasion Fit

Gold

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature, 24 Gold is definitely not an office-friendly scent. Its opulent woody-vanilla profile makes it perfect for dates, evening events, and colder weather casual wear, but it's far too heavy for sports.

Seasons

Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its subtle sillage and comforting woody-amber profile make it perfect for close-quarters like the office or casual wear. While elegant enough for a date, the poor longevity means it won't last a formal event. It's definitely not one for the gym.
