Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Triumph Of Bacchus EDP
This one's a proper divisive boozy-vanilla-tobacco bomb. Gloriously opulent to some, a headache-inducing cough syrup to others. You simply must try before you buy, as the love-it-or-hate-it crowd is pretty evenly split.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Colosseum EDP
A divisive take on a popular scent profile, Colosseum is a boozy, fruity amber that some find irresistible, while others are left cold by its sharp edges and perceived lack of depth. Love it or leave it, it's certainly got people talking.

Season and Occasion Fit

Triumph Of Bacchus

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This fragrance is an absolute beast in terms of projection and longevity, making it far too overpowering for an office setting. Its sweet, boozy, and tobacco-laden profile is perfect for date nights and formal events, though some find it acceptable for casual wear in cooler weather.

Colosseum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

While some find this wearable in the office, its prominent boozy and sweet fruity notes prevent it from being a solid professional choice. It's much better suited for casual outings or dates, and its warmth can even work for formal events, though it lacks true gravitas. Sport is out of the question for this amber-heavy scent profile.
