Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No 4 EDP
A unisex fragrance that blends fresh and spicy notes, offering both vigor and elegance. Ideal for versatile wear.
Statement
Our Verdict - Historic Doria EDP
Historic Doria is a powerful, polarising scent. You'll either love it or hate its nuclear projection of sweet, musky florals and ambroxan. Not for the faint-hearted, this one enters the room long before you do and often stays past its welcome. Blind buying is not advised.

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its beastly projection and longevity, Historic Doria is unsuitable for office wear, where it would overwhelm. It's best suited for evenings out, dates, or formal events where its strong presence can shine without being intrusive, though a light hand is crucial.
