Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Africana

This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love it or hate it, there's no in-between. A real beast of a scent, delivering an unapologetic punch of synthetic sweet fruit that demands attention. Definitely not for the faint of heart or those seeking subtlety.

Our Verdict - Saint Rémy

This one's a divisive sniff, folks. Some call it an earthy, classy freshie, others can't get past the 'old car' vibe. You'll either get its complex, challenging dance between clean and raw, or you'll be reaching for the surgical masks.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date

With its nuclear projection and intense sweetness, Africana is far too attention-grabbing for office or formal settings. It's best suited for casual outings, especially in warmer weather, where its bold character can shine without overwhelming those around you.

Saint Rémy

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, especially in the opening, might be a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its clean, woody freshness and interesting leather accord make it suitable for casual wear or intriguing date nights. The earthy, raw aspects lend themselves to less formal situations, while the iris adds a touch of unexpected elegance for a modern formal setting.
