Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gold EDP
This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it perfume; a big, brassy lily for those who want to make an entrance. If you like your florals shy and retiring, look elsewhere. This isn't subtle, and it certainly isn't mass-market sweet.

Our Verdict - Ma Griffe EDP
Ma Griffe is a true love-it-or-hate-it classic that sparks instant, often visceral, reactions. Its vintage green chypre profile is undeniably divisive, with many finding it an acquired taste, while others laud its unparalleled elegance and unique character that simply doesn't exist in modern perfumery.

Season and Occasion Fit

Gold

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and distinctive, potentially polarising character, Gold is best reserved for occasions where it can truly shine without overwhelming. It's a confident choice for dates and formal events, though its powerful sillage makes it less suitable for an office environment.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal

While its potent sillage and longevity make it a statement, the strong, sometimes 'rancid' opening might be too much for casual or office settings. However, its undeniable elegance and sophisticated dry down make it well-suited for formal events, where it projects a sense of unique confidence.
