Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Forever Red Eau de Parfum

This one is a real crowd-pleaser for those who adore sweet, fruity aromas, but don't expect a nuanced journey. It's a fun, straightforward spritz that delivers a strong initial hit before mellowing out, making it an easy reach that many reviewers adore, even if some find it a bit too simple or fleeting.

Our Verdict - Black Eau de Parfum

This one is a divisive little number. Some adore its comforting familiarity, others find it a bit dated and soapy. Expect a fruity-floral vibe that leans a touch unisex.

Season and Occasion Fit

Forever Red Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Winter

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Given its strong initial projection and sweet, fruity nature, Forever Red is best suited for casual outings and dates. While some reviews mention wearing it to work, its often-described prominent sweetness might be a bit much for a formal office environment, and longevity concerns make it less ideal for long formal events.

Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its moderate projection and fresh-woody-fruity nature make it a good everyday scent, fitting for both office and casual wear. The subtle sensuality means it would also work for a relaxed date, though it lacks the gravitas for formal events.
