Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Criminal of Love Eau de Parfum

This one's a passionate affair, not a casual fling. Criminal of Love is a dark, sensual rose-tobacco blend that polarises with its intensity. While some find it an intoxicating masterpiece, others are put off by its 'medicinal' opening. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or for the office, apparently.

Our Verdict - 8 88 Eau de Parfum

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.

Best For:

Also Works:

Formal

Given its strong projection and overtly sensual nature, this scent is entirely unsuitable for the office, as many reviewers agree. It shines brightest on dates or for special evening occasions where its captivating, dark intensity can truly be appreciated, making it a poor choice for casual wear or sport.

Also Works:

Casual Formal

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.
