Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - So New York EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some love its unique chocolaty, powdery plum vibe, others find it a "powder bomb" or just baffling. Definitely not a safe blind buy, and performance is a wild card. Expect something unusual; just don't expect everyone to get it.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Midnight Addiction EDT
A polarising scent that some deem a delightful dupe for Black Opium, while others find it nauseating. Midnight Addiction evokes strong reactions, proving to be a solid yet divisive fragrance choice.

Season and Occasion Fit

So New York

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and powdery dry down make it acceptable for casual and even some office wear, though the gourmand facets might be too much for formal settings. The warm, cosy accords lend themselves well to dates, especially in cooler weather, but it's far too heavy for sport.

Midnight Addiction

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

The strong scent and notable sillage decrease its suitability for an office environment, while the sweet, enticing notes make it a worthy choice for casual and date nights. Formal occasions are viable but require a more discerning palate due to the fragrance's intensity.
