Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - B9 EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it. Some reckon it's a 'nuclear white floral bomb' perfect for warm climes, while others find it turns rancid or overwhelming, especially on their skin. Definitely one to test before buying a full bottle.

Our Verdict - Balade in Autumn EDP
A divisive scent that’s either 'pure magic' or barely there. If you're lucky, it's a softer, more elegant take on the BR540 vibe, but don't be surprised if it disappears on you.

Season and Occasion Fit

B9

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its 'nuclear' strength and beastly sillage, B9 is probably a bit much for most offices, though some wear it. It's much better suited for dates and evenings out where its bold, sensual character can shine. It's a bit too rich for casual daily wear or anything sporty.

Balade in Autumn

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Given its variable performance-some find it long-lasting, others note poor longevity-this scent is best suited for scenarios where moderate projection is acceptable. It works well for dates or casual outings where its elegant, warm character can shine without being overpowering, assuming it performs for you.
