Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black to Black Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive powerhouse, absolutely not for the faint of heart. If you're a fan of bold rose-ouds with nuclear performance, Black to Black is a must-try - just be warned it can fill a room and some find it overbearing.
Acquired
Our Verdict - de Velours Eau de Toilette
A truly gorgeous, plush fruity leather that's all about quiet luxury and understated power. It's universally loved and tragically discontinued, making it a cult favourite for a reason.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black to Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its beast-mode projection and incredible longevity make this far too potent for office wear or casual daytime use. It absolutely shines in formal evening settings or on a date night where its luxurious and bold character can make a statement.

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and sophisticated leather-plum-rose profile make it ideal for dates and formal events, leaving an impression without overwhelming. The lack of fresh notes and its rich, warm character make it entirely unsuitable for sport.
