Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Playing With The Devil EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a juicy, fruity revelation with a spicy kick, while others are convinced it smells like 'pink medicine' or even body odour. Definitely one to sample first before you commit, as your skin chemistry will make or break it.
Statement
Our Verdict - Driven EDP
If you're a fan of Boss Bottled and want something similar but arguably more refined for an absolute steal, Dunhill Driven is your pick. It's a mass-appealing apple-spiced winner, despite some whingeing about its synthetic start.

Season and Occasion Fit

Playing With The Devil

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its strong fruity and spicy accords, often noted for their excellent sillage and longevity by some, make it a bit much for the office. It's much better suited for casual outings or dates where its unique character can truly shine without overpowering. It's too complex and rich for sport.

Driven

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and mass-appealing scent profile make it excellent for casual wear and the office, offering a clean, comforting presence. While some find it versatile enough for day or night, its warm spice and fruity sweetness lean away from formal events and vigorous activities.
