Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gentlemen Only Absolute EDP
This discontinued gem is a creamy, spicy-sweet winter warmer that's absolutely adored by its fans. While some call it a 'less refined' Spicebomb, many crown it superior - a shame it's so hard to find.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sushi Imperiale EDP
Divisive, perplexing, and utterly unique, Sushi Imperiale is often a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect citrus and warm spices that conjure unexpected visions of apple pie and gourmet soda, rather than anything fishy. This one's definitely a conversation starter.

Sushi Imperiale

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate to strong projection and unique spicy-citrus profile make it too attention-grabbing for a typical office setting, but perfect for dates where you want to stand out. It's too substantial for casual summer wear, but its comforting warmth makes it a great choice for other casual outings, especially in cooler weather.
