Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Absolute Aphrodisiac EDP
A magnetic vanilla-amber elixir entwined with animalic musks and creamy sweetness. This is a beastly, intense, and seductively brooding statement for those who crave attention and unapologetic sensuality.

Our Verdict - West Side EDP
This one is a properly divisive beast - people either rave about its boozy rose and vanilla elegance or recoil from a sickly, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it before you commit to a full bottle.

Season and Occasion Fit

Absolute Aphrodisiac

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

With decadent vanilla, amber, musk and animalic notes, Absolute Aphrodisiac is a powerhouse best suited for cold weather but works well in spring's chill. Its sweetness and intensity can be overwhelming in heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Too bold and sensual for the office or sport, this is a statement scent for formal evenings, special occasions, and especially dates where its seductive aura shines.

West Side

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and rich, boozy gourmand notes make it too imposing for office wear but perfect for dates and evening events. Casual wear is possible, especially in cooler weather, but it's certainly more dressy than relaxed.
