Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet Black Patchouli EDP
Velvet Black Patchouli struggles to live up to its name, baffling some with its lack of prominent patchouli. It’s an elegant, aromatic scent, but its weak performance, especially for the price, makes it a bit of a letdown for many.
Statement
Our Verdict - JPG30 - Scandal Pour Homme EDP
A simplified but recognisable take on JPG Scandal Pour Homme's caramel-tonka-vetiver formula, thinner in the base than the original but faithful to its sweet, modern-masculine shape.

Season and Occasion Fit

Velvet Black Patchouli

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

While initially strong, the fragrance quickly becomes a skin scent, making it suitable for intimate date nights and cooler evening wear. Its elegant character suits formal occasions, but poor longevity and sillage mean it might not last a full workday or casual outing.

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A sweet caramel-vetiver composition suited to cooler-weather wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Confident and warm, good for dates and casual evenings rather than the office.
