Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gold Knight EDP
Prepare for a honey bomb; you'll either love it or want to scrub it off. This divisive Kilian scent is a powerful, sweet beast that demands attention - and perhaps a little patience to appreciate its unique charm. Definitely not a blind buy.
Acquired
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Gold Knight

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its immense sillage and longevity make it too overpowering for the office, risking offence. However, its rich, seductive character and luxurious feel make it perfect for dates and formal evening events, especially in colder weather.

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.
