Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guapo
Divisive, yet undeniably a value-for-money champ. If you can get past the initial 'hairspray' and metallic bite, you'll find a versatile everyday scent with surprisingly robust performance that punches well above its weight class.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Elaborate
This one is a total love-it-or-hate-it affair, a genuinely divisive beast of a perfume. Elaborate is not for fainthearted, with its challenging, almost aggressive animalic leather profile that screams for attention instead of politely asking.

Season and Occasion Fit

Guapo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its moderate projection and fresh, clean character make it ideal for office wear and casual outings. While some find it too 'deodorant-like' for formal events or intimate dates, its good longevity makes it suitable for extended wear in non-demanding situations.

Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

With its enormous sillage and longevity, Elaborate is far too intense for office or casual wear where it could be overpowering. Its bold, luxurious character makes it more fitting for formal events or a statement-making date, but even then, apply sparingly.
