Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tabu Eau de Parfum

Tabu is the original 'slutty' smell, a classic that refuses to die. It's a bold, spicy, animalic bomb - love it or hate it, just don't over-spray unless you want to gaslight your enemies.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Via Verri Eau de Toilette

This Etro offering is a short-lived whisper of elegance. It's beautiful, undeniably chic, and perfectly unisex, but its fleeting performance means it's more of a fleeting crush than a lasting love. A "love it or hate it" scent depending on your longevity expectations.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tabu Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Given its 'beast mode' performance and strong, spicy-animalic character, Tabu is far too potent for the office. It's best suited for romantic dates or evening formal events where its commanding presence can shine, though some enjoy it casually when applied sparingly.

Via Verri Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Formal

Its subtle sillage and poor longevity make it suitable for close-quarters like the office, or casual settings where a light refreshment is desired. It lacks the projection and staying power for formal events or a memorable date.
