Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Omniscient Mr Thompson EDP
A creamy iris wrapped in gourmand sesame and vanilla, The Omniscient Mr Thompson is refined yet comforting, powdery yet intriguing - a quietly commanding signature for those who value subtle decadence.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Detour Noir Intense EDP
Divisive and not a safe blind buy, Detour Noir Intense demands patience and an appreciation for its unique, intense character. Some will love its creamy, woody vanilla, while others are put off by a 'dirty ashtray' opening. Test before you invest, and let it macerate.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Omniscient Mr Thompson

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The creamy iris and vanilla paired with sesame and powdery sweetness make this ideal for fall and winter, while the spicy pink pepper and floral heart allow for spring wear. It may feel too dense and sweet for hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

Its moderate projection and elegant powdery-gourmand character are refined enough for formal and date settings, but a bit too sweet and present for sport or highly casual wear. The scent's sophistication suits evenings and special occasions.

Detour Noir Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and cloying potential, this perfume is better suited for dates and formal events where its richness can shine. While some find it office-appropriate, many note its intensity makes it less ideal for close-quarter professional settings, and its depth rules out sport.
