Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sugar Addict EDP
Born to Stand Out's Sugar Addict is a boozy, caramelised sugar bomb that delivers exactly what it promises. It's an intoxicating gourmand for those who live for unapologetic sweetness, though some find it a bit too much or synthetic.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sugar Obsession EDP
A budget read of BORNTOSTANDOUT's Sugar Addict - that dazzling pure-sugar gourmand with cocoa, rum and a smooth cashmere-wood base. Sugar Obsession nails the candied core but pushes the sugar and cacao even louder, while the original's boozy nuance and subtle coffee-labdanum drydown read flatter. Deliciously sweet, if a shade less refined than the niche muse.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sugar Addict

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

This is a strong, sweet gourmand with reported excellent longevity and projection, making it unsuitable for an office setting. It's perfect for dates and evening casual events where its seductive warmth can shine, but too decadent for athletic activities.

Sugar Obsession

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A rich sugar-and-cacao gourmand that thrives in autumn and winter cold; the heavy sweetness and warm spice feel suffocating in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Cosy and a little sensual, it suits evenings, dates and relaxed cold-weather days rather than the office or sport.
