Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bad Boy Eau de Toilette

A mainstream crowd-pleaser with a spicy-sweet punch. The cacao and warm tonka bean set it apart from generic blue scents, making it a playful, youthful, and seductive choice for evenings and cooler days.

Statement

Our Verdict - HiM Eau de Parfum

A divisive beast, HiM is either a hidden gem of spicy-woody warmth, or a synthetic mess. Most will find it a cosy, understated autumn/winter option, but some will struggle with its cloying sweetness and lack of dynamism.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bad Boy Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

The spicy warmth, cacao, and sweet tonka make this a standout in cooler months and evenings, while the citrus and pepper bring enough freshness for spring. It can be heavy for high heat, so less optimal for summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Best for dates and nights out due to its sweet, warm, slightly seductive vibe. Works casually and for some offices if applied lightly, but is too bold and gourmand for sporty or very formal settings.

HiM Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its warm-spicy and woody accords, combined with moderate to strong performance, make it unsuitable for high-heat sports or overly formal settings. The comforting, inviting nature is perfect for dates and casual outings, while its subtle sophistication allows for office wear, provided it's not oversprayed.
