Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Decibel Eau de Parfum
This one's proper divisive, a true love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Forget blind buys, you absolutely need to get your nose on Decibel before committing, because what some call unique and mesmerising, others call 'disgusting' and 'church-like'.
Statement
Our Verdict - M/Mink Eau de Parfum
M/Mink is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a genuinely divisive fragrance. It's bold, uncompromising, and pushes boundaries, designed for those who want to stand out and aren't afraid of a bit of controversy. Definitely not a blind buy unless you thrive on olfactory anarchy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Decibel Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Decibel's strong sillage and warm, smoky, unique accords make it unsuitable for most office environments, but great for a night out or a casual evening gathering. Its distinctive character aligns well with date nights in cooler weather.

M/Mink Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Also Works:
Date

Its potent projection and unique, challenging profile make it unsuitable for office or formal settings. While some find it sexy for dates in crisp weather, its strong, sometimes 'dirty' character means it's best reserved for casual, unconventional events or wearing purely for oneself, according to reviews.
