Loverdose Eau de Parfum vs 9PM - 610 Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
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.
No. 610 chases Afnan 9pm's apple-cinnamon-vanilla clubbing signature and nails the loud, candy-sweet opening almost note-for-note, but the amber-vanilla base is noticeably thinner and collapses to a simple sweet musk long before the original's famously room-filling trail gives out.

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, warm apple-cinnamon-amber profile suits cold-weather evenings best; too heavy and sugary for hot summer days.
Occasions
Its loud, seductive sweetness is built for nights out and dates; far too much for the office or a formal setting.
