Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Inez & Vinoodh EDP
Divisive, challenging, and utterly unique, Byredo's 1996 is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions, and don't even think about a blind buy. If you connect with its strange, atmospheric charm, it's an undeniable signature scent.

Our Verdict - Iris Malikhân EDP
This one's a wild ride. Expect a polarising opening that settles into a luxurious, buttery iris and vanilla dream. If you can get past the initial green bitterness, you'll be rewarded with something truly special, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Inez & Vinoodh

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its heavy, complex accords, make it unsuitable for office and sport. The unique, powerful character leans towards date nights and formal events where you want to make a memorable, if potentially polarising, statement.

Iris Malikhân

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong opening and impressive sillage, this leans away from office wear. However, its sophisticated and luxurious character makes it perfect for dates, evening events, and formal occasions, particularly in cooler weather.
