Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Petra EDP
Prepare for a wild ride with Petra. This one's an absolute enigma, a true love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Give it time to mature, though - it's known to transform from a challenging start into something utterly captivating, but not for the faint of heart.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 212 VIP EDP
This party-starter is a polarising blend of boozy rum, sweet vanilla, and tropical fruit. Some love its sexy, playful vibe, while others find it overpowering or even cheap. It's a scent that demands attention, for better or worse.

Season and Occasion Fit

Petra

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent nature and strong sillage, especially in the opening, prevent it from being an office-friendly choice. However, the luxurious and evolving sweet, tuberose, and boozy accords make it perfect for date nights and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime wear.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

The strong rum and sweet accords, coupled with its 'party girl' reputation and a tendency to be overpowering, make it unsuitable for office or sport. Its sexy and luxurious feel, with good longevity mentioned by many, suits dates and nights out, while being a bit much for everyday casual wear or formal events.
