Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oriental Soul EDP
This one's a proper grown-up vanilla, swaddled in smoky amber and a whisper of green. It's a gorgeous-smelling scent, though some find its longevity less than stellar, so bear that in mind.

Our Verdict - Diesel EDP
This one's a relic from the 90s, and it smells like it. Polarising, with some finding it a nostalgic gem and others dismissing it as synthetic and cheap. If you're after a peppery, slightly leathery unisex scent with a vintage vibe, hunt it down. Otherwise, move along.

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its warm, sensual accords of amber and vanilla it's perfectly suited for dates and formal events. It's a bit too rich for the office or sport, but the moderate sillage makes it work for casual evenings if worn sparingly.

Diesel

Seasons

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its strong peppery and warm spicy character makes it a bit too bold for a formal office setting. It shines in casual or cooler weather date scenarios, where its unique blend can be appreciated, as mentioned by reviewers.
