Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Au Masculin EDP
This early noughties gem is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent licorice and anise, backed by sweet vanilla and boozy warmth. If you appreciate a unique, sweet-spicy signature, you're in for a treat, but it's definitely not for everyone.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Platinum Blend EDP
A warm, spicy, and distinctly amber-heavy scent that's creating a stir. Some find it a dead ringer for classic Angel, while others pick up a Dr Pepper vibe. Definitely a crowd-pleaser that leans feminine, despite being marketed as unisex.

Season and Occasion Fit

Au Masculin

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, sweet, and unique profile makes it a standout choice for dates and cooler casual outings, where its sillage can truly shine. The sweetness and potential for strong projection limit its appropriateness for office or formal settings, and it's definitely not one for sport.

Platinum Blend

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent, long-lasting amber and vanilla profile, combined with impressive longevity, makes it too assertive for office wear but perfect for special evenings or dates. It carries enough elegance for formal events, though perhaps less so for entirely casual daytime outings.
