Season and Occasion Fit

Or Black Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Or Black's resinous, leathery and mossy character is ideal for cooler weather, making it excel in fall and winter. Its aromatic and spicy nuances also make it suitable for brisk spring days, but it can feel heavy for the heat of summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

With moderate projection and a bold, complex profile, Or Black stands out for casual and evening wear, and works for confident date nights or formal events. Its vintage fougere-leather aura is too intense for sports or light situations, but can fit in a refined office setting with discretion.

London for Men Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Rich tobacco, cinnamon, and leather give this a warm, enveloping character that excels in fall and winter. The moderate sweetness and woody depth make it less fitting for hot weather but wearable in early spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its spicy-tobacco warmth and moderate boldness suit dates and formal events, while the richness can be a bit much for office or sporty settings. Works for casual evenings, less so for daytime business.
