Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ultrared EDP
This one's a proper Marmite scent, isn't it? You'll either adore its sweet, spicy berry twist or find it simply too much. If you're after a loud, playful gourmand that leans into licorice, you might just find your soulmate. For others, it's a 'plastic doll head' disaster.
Statement
Our Verdict - Madawi Gold Edition EDP
This Gold Edition is a big, bold, fruity-vanilla bomb that people absolutely adore, though its intensity might be a bit much for some. Expect compliments and a scent that screams 'luxury'.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ultrared

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its prominent sweet and fruity accords, alongside reviews mentioning its notable sillage and longevity, make it ideal for casual and date settings, but potentially too intense for a formal or office environment. The 'loud' and playful character also isn't suited to sport.

Madawi Gold Edition

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and longevity, it's best reserved for occasions where it can shine without overwhelming a space. It’s a fantastic choice for date nights and formal events, though perhaps a bit too potent for daily office wear or sports.
