Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The World According to Arthur EDP
An opulent, incense-draped vanilla that radiates warmth and mystery without being brash. A plush, enveloping statement for cold nights and formal occasions, it is both modern and regal in its depth.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Odyssey Mandarin Sky Elixir EDP
A beast-mode compliment-puller that screams confidence. If you fancy a sweet and spicy citrus bomb that lasts ages, this is your jam. Some say it's not unique, comparing it to other gourmand heavy-hitters, but who cares when it gets you noticed?

Season and Occasion Fit

The World According to Arthur

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Rich vanilla, incense, and amber make this best in cooler months, where its warmth and fullness shine. The sweetness and smokiness can be too enveloping for hot weather but are perfect for crisp fall and winter air.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its luxurious, resinous character and moderate projection suit formal events and elegant evenings. The sweet-smoky depth can be romantic but may overwhelm close office or athletic settings.

Odyssey Mandarin Sky Elixir

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Given its beast-mode projection and longevity, this scent is ideal for dates and casual outings where making an impression is key. It's a bit too much for a formal office setting but could work in casual environments if applied lightly. Its sweetness and projection make it less suitable for sport.
