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 - Italian Currency EDP
Italian Currency echoes Xerjoff's cult gourmand Lira, with its caramel-vanilla base lifted by blood orange and a spicy heart. The freshly-baked-cake sweetness is there, though it lands flatter and softer than the lavish original.

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.

Italian Currency

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The sweet caramel-vanilla gourmand is built for autumn and winter and feels heavy in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Cosy and sensual, it suits dates, evenings and casual wear far more than the office or formal settings.
