Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Beloved Woman EDP

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions between 'masterpiece' and 'old-fashioned mess'. You'll either adore its complex, classic charm or find it too dated; there's no middle ground here.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Presence EDT

Seriously, this isn't for novices. Presence is a deep, animalic challenge to the mainstream, and it absolutely demands a certain kind of wearer. Expect to divide opinion, but those who 'get' it will be utterly captivated.

Season and Occasion Fit

Beloved Woman

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and extensive longevity make it unsuitable for office wear, but perfect for evenings and special events. The sophisticated, warm spicy, and animalic accords lend themselves well to formal occasions and romantic dates, where a bold statement is desired.

Presence

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Its musky, woody and aromatic composition leans towards autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong, distinctive animalic and woody accords, Presence is too assertive for most office settings or casual wear. It truly shines for intimate evening dates or formal events where its unique character can be appreciated without overwhelming a large room.
