Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Over The Chocolate Shop EDP
This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some it is an absolute treat, a photorealistic walk past a chocolate shop window. For others it tips into cheap-coffee bitterness. You will either adore its cosy gourmand hug or recoil from its intensity.
Statement
Our Verdict - Pistache EDP
A universally adored pistachio gourmand that manages to be rich without being heavy or overly sweet. It's the grown-up take on dessert-inspired scents, comforting and surprisingly versatile.

Season and Occasion Fit

Over The Chocolate Shop

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A dry, dark cacao with roasted nuts and a coffee-vanilla drydown reads as cold-weather comfort - winter is the anchor, autumn the natural extension. It turns too rich and heavy for warm weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

The cosy edible character and moderate to intimate sillage suit casual wear, cosy date nights, and low-key winter evenings. It is too rich and divisive for the office and lacks the polish for formal events, and is wrong for sport.

Pistache

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and comforting, non-cloying gourmand nature make it excellent for casual wear and dates. While not a typical 'office scent', its sophisticated sweetness and surprising cleanliness mean it could work in careful application, though it's too relaxed for formal events and entirely unsuitable for sport.
