Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Babylon EDP
A decadent, spicy-woody vanilla that radiates opulence and sophisticated mystery. Babylon stands out with enveloping warmth and just enough sweetness, perfect for colder nights and those who crave rich, grown-up gourmand woods.

Our Verdict - Purpose 50 Royal Drop Extrait
Given the sheer lack of actual reviews, it's impossible to tell if this will be a love-it-or-hate-it affair or a crowd-pleaser. The jury's still out, but Quentin Bisch rarely disappoints.

Season and Occasion Fit

Babylon

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Babylon's creamy vanilla and prominent sandalwood, coupled with rich spices, make it ideal for fall and winter when warmth and opulence shine. The intensity and sweetness may overwhelm in summer, but it performs well in the chill of spring or cool evenings.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its pronounced warmth, vanilla, and woody character suit evening, formal, and date settings where its richness can be appreciated. It is less suited for sport or hot office days due to intensity and projection.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The rich, woody, and warm spicy accords suggest a more formal or intimate setting. While its complexity might be a bit much for a casual office, it's perfectly suited for an evening date or a black-tie event.
