Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Back to Black Eau de Parfum
Divisive, complex, and utterly intriguing, Back to Black is either a masterpiece of dark honeyed tobacco or a baby wipes and urinal cake nightmare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, for better or worse.
Acquired
Our Verdict - The Majestic Jardin Eau de Parfum
This one's a wildcard. A polarising blend of sweet, spicy, and smoky, it's either an addictive, mystical masterpiece or a rancid, dusty mess. Definitely not for the faint of heart, and absolutely not a safe blind-buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Back to Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it too assertive for the office. It excels on dates or formal evenings where its mysterious, sensual character can truly shine. Though some might wear it casually, it demands a certain mood and isn't an everyday spray.
