Which Should You Buy?
This isn't for the faint of heart; 8 88 is either a 'wow' or a 'weird', with its metallic-spicy embrace alienating as many as it enraptures. A challenging but undeniably unique scent for those who dare.
Hunter Killer Man is a divisive, beast-mode tobacco and spice bomb. It's not a safe blind buy and definitely needs to macerate to show its true colours. Expect compliments from some, rejection from others.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its unique, sometimes 'metallic' nature and solid projection make it a bit much for a formal office setting, though some found it wearable if lightly applied. The warm and intriguing accords lend themselves well to dates and casual outings where its distinctiveness can be appreciated without being overwhelming.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature, particularly after maceration, Hunter Killer Man is too potent for most office environments. It shines in more intimate evening settings like dates and is suitable for formal events where its commanding scent can make a statement, but it's far too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Woody, Fresh Spicy accords and Patchouli, Amber notes
