Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sultan
Sultan is the Arabian cheapie everyone's banging on about, but the performance is a real mixed bag. Some reckon it's a beast, others say it fades faster than a shy bloke's attempt at flirting. If you get a good batch, it's a fresh, woody winner that punches way above its price point.

Our Verdict - Book Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper divisive scent. Book is either a creamy, cosy hug of woody freshness or a jarring dill pickle in a bottle. If you're a Santal 33 fan, you might just find a cheaper alternative in this woody-aromatic number, but be warned, not everyone gets the memo.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sultan

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh and clean profile, coupled with often light projection for some batches, makes it suitable for casual wear, office settings (if applied lightly), and even sport. The woody and spicy elements, however, keep it from being a top choice for very formal occasions. Its affordability also makes it a popular choice for 'workhorse' and everyday use.

Book Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and fresh, woody profile make it suitable for casual wear and daily use. It's a bit too divisive and understated for formal events, and while fresh, its woody depth isn't ideal for vigorous sport.
