Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Norah Passion Eau de Parfum
A pretty, unobtrusive tropical gourmand that's perfect if you're after a snuggly, close-wearing scent. Don't expect huge projection, but it's a solid choice for personal enjoyment.
Statement
Our Verdict - Charlie Black Eau de Toilette
Charlie Black is a divisive fruit-musk, adored by some for its unique cheapness and nighttime allure, but dismissed by others as a linear, masculine disappointment. Don't expect a delicate dessert; this is bold and a bit rough around the edges, definitely not for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Norah Passion Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

Its soft projection and gentle nature make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it won't offend. The gourmand and fruity elements, combined with its intimate sillage, make it less suitable for formal events or a loud date night.

Charlie Black Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its musky, bold character and perceived 'masculinity' make it less suited for formal or office settings, where it might be too strong or unconventional. Reviewers suggest it's more for evenings or casual wear, fitting its unique and less delicate profile.
