Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lapidus EDP
Lapidus Pour Homme: a true 80s powerhouse. It's a divisive beast - you'll either adore its audacious blend of honey and masculinity, or you'll recoil from its unapologetic vintage roar. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but for those who know, it's a masterpiece.

Our Verdict - Bad EDT
Diesel Bad is a classic love-it-or-hate-it scent. Half the internet thinks it's a generic, headache-inducing mess, but its devoted fans say it's an underrated, compliment-getting monster akin to Invictus, but with a grown-up twist. Undeniably mass-appealing, but certainly not for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lapidus

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

This is a beast-mode fragrance with strong projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting where it could easily overwhelm. Its bold, masculine character and sensual honey-tobacco notes lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, though some find it too 'old-school' for modern palates. It's a bit much for casual wear, and definitely not for sport.

Bad

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its strong projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for the office, but stellar for dates or casual outings where you want to be noticed. While some find it too casual for formal events, its versatility means it can adapt, especially in colder weather. Many reviewers highlight its 'beast mode' performance and compliment-getting ability.
