Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
The sweet caramel-vanilla gourmand is built for autumn and winter and feels heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Cosy and sensual, it suits dates, evenings and casual wear far more than the office or formal settings.
