Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Yatagan Eau de Parfum

Yatagan is a scent for proper blokes. It's a challenging, unapologetically masculine classic that splits opinion between an 'old school masterpiece' and 'celery and bug spray'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're up for it, it screams confident swagger.

Statement

Our Verdict - 212 VIP Black NY Rodeo Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive affair. Some reckon its a mature, aromatic upgrade to the 212 VIP Black line, praising its restrained leather and herbal twists. Others just find it offensive, an old-fashioned misstep in a fancy bottle. Definitely try before you buy.

Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its potent, dense notes and animalic edge make it a challenging fit for the office, though some find it 'office safe' in moderation. The strong, unique character and moderate sillage lend themselves better to casual wear or intimate, rugged dates, especially in cooler weather.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile for evening wear and dates, but the prominent leather and bitter notes may be too bold for everyday casual wear. Some find it suitable for the office due to its more mature profile, while others consider it too 'offensive' for such settings, suggesting it's best reserved for more deliberate occasions.
