Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aromatics in Black Eau de Parfum

Aromatics in Black is an opulent, resinous floral that radiates plush warmth without ever feeling heavy-handed. It balances creamy florals, smoky resins, and a subtle fruity sweetness for a quietly confident, modern classic.

Our Verdict - Altamir Eau de Parfum

Altamir is a seriously polarising scent - some absolute devotees rave about its Gaultier 2-esque amber and vanilla deliciousness, while others recoil at its cloying sweetness and 'cheap' smell. Not one for a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aromatics in Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Best suited for autumn and winter due to its resinous, ambery base, creamy florals and plush fruit. Its warmth and moderate projection make it comforting in cool weather, while the rich blend can be too heavy for hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its elegant, mysterious character fits formal and date settings, while moderate projection and lack of cloying sweetness allow for office and casual wear. Too plush and enveloping for sport or high-activity occasions.

Altamir Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Given its sweet and amber-heavy profile, Altamir is best suited for cooler weather and intimate encounters. While some find its performance suitable for 'any occasion', its bold sweetness might be a bit much for a formal office environment, earning it higher marks for date nights and casual wear. The polarizing reviews suggest it's more of a personal statement than a crowd-pleaser for every setting.
