Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sultana EDP
Sultana is a divisive, powerhouse oriental that is either a gorgeous, sensual oud-rose or an overpowering 'old-lady' scent that demands attention. Definitely not for the faint of heart, it's a bold statement for those who dare.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Black Gris: Obsidian Parfum
Obsidian is a bold, uncompromising beast that manages to be both fresh and deeply complex simultaneously. It's not for the faint of heart, demanding attention and leaving a lasting impression.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sultana

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'powerhouse' projection and 'lasts forever' longevity, Sultana is best suited for evenings and special occasions where its strong oriental profile can shine without overwhelming those around you. It's too potent for casual wear or the office, but perfect for dates or formal events where you want to make an impression.

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its potent and complex profile, Obsidian is too assertive for most office environments but shines in formal settings or on a sophisticated date night. Its strong projection and unique blend would be overwhelming for casual or athletic wear.
