Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cedro di Taormina
A delightful, fresh woody-citrus that perfectly captures Italian summer vibes. Though sadly discontinued, this crowd-pleaser garners widespread love for its uplifting character, despite some gripes about its subtle projection.

Our Verdict - Highness III
This one's a divisive beast of a fragrance. If you're after a loud, old-school green woody scent, and you don't mind a bit of a rough edge, this could be your jam. But don't go in expecting Royal Oud, or even a soft ride; it’s a punchy, unapologetic scent that many find too much.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cedro di Taormina

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and moderate sillage make it suitable for office wear and perfect for casual outings or sports. While elegant enough for some dates, its subdued projection might not be ideal for formal events where bolder scents shine.

Highness III

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its beastly performance and strong projection mean you need a light hand for the office, otherwise it will be overwhelming. The mature, sophisticated nature of the woody, oud, and leather accords makes it well-suited for formal occasions and dates. It's too heavy and assertive for most casual or sport activities.
