Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fabulous EDP
Divisive, polarising, and impossible to ignore. Some find it a masterpiece of complex leathery sophistication, others a medicinal baby wipe nightmare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that backs up its bold name.
Statement
Our Verdict - 205 EDP
Aromatic lavender gives way to bitter almond and leather, then a smooth vanilla and tonka base. A daring, sweet-and-smoky scent with real character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fabulous

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and intense, luxurious profile, this is best suited for evening occasions like dates or formal events. It's too bold and potentially distracting for an office environment, and definitely not a gym scent.

205

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Leather, vanilla and tonka are warm and enveloping, which suits autumn and winter. The lavender opening keeps it from feeling heavy.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

A sweet, leathery profile with a strong evening and date-night presence. It is too rich for sport.
