Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Youth-Dew Eau de Parfum
Divisive and unapologetically bold, Youth-Dew is a spiced, aldehydic powerhouse. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, refusing to blend in with modern trends. If you're after a statement, this beast has your name on it.

Our Verdict - Quatre Iconic Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, but if you're into an opulent, bold amber with serious staying power, Quatre Iconic is a steal. Be warned, though, she's a strong one and not for the faint of heart - or nose.

Youth-Dew is a beast-mode perfume with huge projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting where it could overpower others. However, its sophisticated, rich, and warm spicy character makes it perfect for formal events, date nights, and special occasions, especially in colder weather. Many reviewers highlight its 'evening' and 'winter' qualities, advising minimal application even then.
