Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Loverdose EDP

Loverdose is a divisive, intoxicating scent - a delicious liquorice bomb that leans into its edgy, rebellious side. Some find it a masterpiece, others a challenging, even 'bitchy' punk rock experience. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions, but it's certainly not boring.

Statement

Our Verdict - Vanilla & Anise EDC

This one's a proper British conundrum. Some find it a fresh, grown-up vanilla with a unique spicy kick, like a refined confection. Others say it's more medicinal fennel than delicious, with a surprisingly weak performance typical of Jo Malone. A divisive scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Loverdose

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

With strong, sweet liquorice and anise accords, Loverdose isn't a safe bet for the office but shines on dates, especially in cooler weather, where its seductive nature can really come through. Its moderate sillage and disappointing longevity on some make it more suited for intimate settings rather than all-day wear.

Autumn

Also Works:

Spring Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its soft spicy and powdery accords, combined with general community consensus of light sillage and moderate longevity, make it ideal for casual wear and the office. It's a bit too subdued for formal events and not invigorating enough for sport, but could work for an intimate date.
