Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Criminal of Love Eau de Parfum
This one's a passionate affair, not a casual fling. Criminal of Love is a dark, sensual rose-tobacco blend that polarises with its intensity. While some find it an intoxicating masterpiece, others are put off by its 'medicinal' opening. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or for the office, apparently.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Nirvana Amethyst Eau de Parfum
This is a gorgeous, complex tobacco scent that unfortunately struggles with longevity and sillage for many. Those who love it, really love it - a cozy, mysterious vibe with a surprising depth for its price point.

Season and Occasion Fit

Criminal of Love Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong projection and overtly sensual nature, this scent is entirely unsuitable for the office, as many reviewers agree. It shines brightest on dates or for special evening occasions where its captivating, dark intensity can truly be appreciated, making it a poor choice for casual wear or sport.

Nirvana Amethyst Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its intimate sillage makes it suitable for office wear, but its warm tobacco and spicy accords lean more towards evening and cooler weather occasions. The sensual, cozy nature makes it ideal for dates and relaxed settings, though it can still work for less formal gatherings.
