Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spice and Wood Eau de Parfum

A truly gorgeous, refined woody-spicy scent that's adored by its fans but ultimately crippled by its abysmal performance. Despite its beauty, it's impossible to recommend at this price point.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Silver Black Eau de Parfum

This one's a mixed bag. Some think it's a timeless, masculine classic, a 'masterpiece' even, while others find it dull, dated, and too 'old school'. Expect compliments from some, disgust from others. If you like a mature, fresh-spicy scent, give it a sniff - especially if you're over 30.

Season and Occasion Fit

Spice and Wood Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Formal

Also Works:

Date

Its subtle sillage and refined character make it perfect for formal settings or the office where it won't offend. However, the poor longevity limits its versatility for casual wear unless you're reapplying often, and it's far too elegant for sport.

Also Works:

Date Casual Formal

Its clean, fresh, and aromatic profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, though its strong performance and 'old-school' vibe might be too much for some modern office settings or during sporty activities. It also garners compliments, making it a good date option, but its perceived maturity might not suit all formal occasions.
