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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Elegant Style For Men EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Lacoste Cool Play - a woody fragrance led by Coriander, Birch Leaf, with powdery depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

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.

Elegant Style For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the woody, powdery profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the woody accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
