Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Floriental EDP
Floriental is a surprisingly agreeable, complex plum-and-incense fragrance, if you can forgive the truly baffling performance on some. It's chic and modern, but don't expect a beast mode scent.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Expectations EDT
This one is a properly divisive beast, not for the faint of heart. Expect to either love its animalic punch or run for the hills. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Floriental

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection on average makes it suitable for office wear, not being overly intrusive. The sophisticated blend of plum, incense, and woods, often described as 'sexy' or 'elegant', makes it a strong contender for dates and formal events, particularly in cooler weather. It's too rich and warm for sport.

Expectations

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong animalic and smoky character, this fragrance isn't ideal for the office or casual daytime wear where it might overwhelm. It's much better suited for evening dates or formal events where its significant projection and longevity can be appreciated without being intrusive.
