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 - Issara Eau de Parfum

Issara is an enigmatic beast - a gorgeous, calming fougere that sadly commits the cardinal sin of being fleeting for many. It's truly beautiful up close, with a quality that screams luxury, but don't expect it to shout across the room.

Season and Occasion Fit

Yatagan Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

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.

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its intimate sillage and clean, non-overpowering profile make it excellent for office and casual wear. The subtle nature means it won't project much on a date, and the aromatic-woody character is generally unsuitable for formal events or sport.
