Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Cashmere EDP
A cult classic, Black Cashmere is a divisive, intoxicating blend of dark spices and woods. It's a masterpiece that inspires obsession, but be warned, it's not for everyone. If you get it, you really get it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Manly EDP
This isn't just 'Manly' by name; it's a bold, resinous statement that radiates confidence. Expect a warm wood and amber embrace that's undeniably direct and sophisticated.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black Cashmere

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and warm, spicy character make it less suitable for the office. However, its sophisticated and sensual allure is perfect for dates and evening events, ideally in cooler weather. Many reviews highlight its 'sexy' and 'intimate' qualities for special occasions.

Manly

Seasons

Autumn Winter

Built on woody, amber and warm spicy - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, resinous woody projection makes it too assertive for a quiet office, but it shines on dates and formal occasions. The warmth of the amber and wood perfectly suits cooler weather and sophisticated evening wear.
