Which Should You Buy?
This one's a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. Gioco all'Alba is a potent, unapologetic whisky bomb that'll either earn you compliments or raise eyebrows with its boozy swagger. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or nose.
This one's a divisive beast. Some adore its resinous, non-sweet vanilla and leathery depth, while others are left cold by a 'root beer' or 'cough syrup' accord, struggling to find the vanilla or even the leather. Definitely sample this before committing.

However, its unique, sophisticated character and potent sillage make it a standout choice for distinctive formal events or intimate evening dates, as long as you're not planning on driving.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.
Occasions
Its distinctive leather and warm spicy accords make it less suitable for a professional office setting, potentially being too assertive. However, its sensual warmth is ideal for dates and can add a sophisticated edge to formal events, particularly in colder weather as many reviewers noted.
