Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Desire Extreme EDT
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love how it swerves the crowd-pleasers with its bold, dark character, or you'll find it an overwhelming, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're after something unique and masculine, it could be a winner.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hydrosphere EDP
Hydrosphere chases Memo Paris Ocean Leather - that bright citrus and aromatic-herb opening grounded by a soft, creamy leather-vetiver base. The fresh-leather concept carries across, but it reads thinner and more straightforwardly citrusy, missing the niche refinement of the original's signature leather.

Season and Occasion Fit

Desire Extreme

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate projection and longevity mean it won't overpower an office, but the darker, more intense leather and spicy accords are better suited for evening and casual wear. The polarizing nature also suggests it's not universally office-safe.

Hydrosphere

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A bright citrus-aromatic profile with a light leather base suits mild and warm weather, thriving spring through autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Clean and refined, it makes an easy office and daily signature that also handles casual daytime and low-key dates.
