Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Stash SJP
Stash SJP is a divisive, bold, and surprisingly niche-quality celebrity scent that captures an 'alternative' woody magic. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, often described as 'sex in a pine forest' or 'hamster cage' - no middle ground here.
Statement
Our Verdict - Black Beetle
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, dark patchouli with smoky frankincense and a surprising sprinkle of fruit. It's unique, but definitely divides opinion - so sample before you splurge.

Season and Occasion Fit

Stash SJP

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its bold, long-lasting woody and spicy profile, with strong sillage mentioned by many, is generally too intense for office wear. However, its 'sexy' and 'confident' leanings, along with 'night out' suggestions, make it perfect for dates or cooler-weather casual outings, and it can even elevate a formal event for those wanting something unconventional.

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
