Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Malbec X
This is a seriously seductive, amber-leather bomb that smells way more expensive than it is. While some find the opening a bit synthetic or rubbery, most agree it's a confident, virile scent perfect for making an impression.

Our Verdict - Q Uomo
This Armaf offering is an unusual one - obscure, divisive, and a bit of a mystery clone. You might love it for its unique character and value for money, but be warned, some might not get it at all. It's a cheapie with personality, apparently one 'ya mom fancies too'.

Season and Occasion Fit

Malbec X

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Malbec X is far too dominant for an office setting and its strong, warm character doesn't suit sport. Its bold leather and amber make it ideal for dates and evening formal events, especially in cooler weather, where its substantial sillage and longevity can truly shine.

Q Uomo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its medium projection and longevity make it ideal for the office, as it sits closer to the skin, as noted in reviews. The warm and aromatic accords are versatile enough for casual wear, though less suited for very formal events or active sports.
