Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dark Rum Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you - this ain't no deep, boozy rum. It's a surprisingly clean, fresh take on plum and leather with a creamy, almost shampoo-like softness. Some find it sexy and addictive, others call it a 'basic ass plum' or 'laundry detergent'. A divisive scent where a blind buy is definitely not advised.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Mada Extrait
A smooth operator, Mada by Anfas marries juicy fruit and soft leather for a sophisticated take on sweetness. It's a confident, long-lasting scent that's sure to turn heads for all the right reasons.

Season and Occasion Fit

Dark Rum Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and clean character make it versatile for casual wear and date nights, where its subtle sensuality can shine. However, its fruitiness and perceived lack of 'seriousness' by some, combined with variable longevity, make it less suited for formal settings or vigorous sport.

Mada Extrait

Seasons

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its excellent performance and dominant fruity-leather accords make it a superb choice for dates and formal occasions where you want to make a statement. It's a bit too bold for a typical office setting but could work casually in cooler weather.
