Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Back to Black Eau de Parfum

Divisive, complex, and utterly intriguing, Back to Black is either a masterpiece of dark honeyed tobacco or a baby wipes and urinal cake nightmare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, for better or worse.

Our Verdict - Zenit Rouge Extrait

This one's a mixed bag, offering a smooth, sweet tobacco and honey experience with an oud twist that some find a bit too polite. Others, however, are left utterly bewildered by its opening, so tread carefully.

Season and Occasion Fit

Back to Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and rich, complex notes make it unsuitable for an office setting, but ideal for intimate date nights and formal events where its luxurious character can shine. It's often described as a 'night fragrance' or for colder weather, further limiting casual wear.

Casual

Its potent nature and sweet, rich accords make it less suitable for office wear where subtlety is key. It excels in colder weather dates and formal events due to its elegant, intense character, though some find it versatile enough for general wear.
