Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Playing With The Devil EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a juicy, fruity revelation with a spicy kick, while others are convinced it smells like 'pink medicine' or even body odour. Definitely one to sample first before you commit, as your skin chemistry will make or break it.
Statement
Our Verdict - Spicy Orchid EDP
If you're after a statement scent that screams 'expensive' and lasts forever, Spicy Orchid is your jam. Expect a dark, sweet, and undeniably potent ride - this isn't for the faint of heart, but it's a solid crowd-pleaser for those who dare.

Season and Occasion Fit

Playing With The Devil

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its strong fruity and spicy accords, often noted for their excellent sillage and longevity by some, make it a bit much for the office. It's much better suited for casual outings or dates where its unique character can truly shine without overpowering. It's too complex and rich for sport.

Spicy Orchid

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'eternal' longevity and 'massive' sillage noted by reviewers, this is far too strong for the office. It's a perfect fit for dates and formal events where its powerful, expensive-smelling aura can shine, but it's generally too much for casual wear.
