Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Knowing EDP

Seriously divisive yet utterly compelling, Knowing is a powerhouse chypre that demands attention. You'll either adore its unapologetic complexity or recoil from its 'old-school' punch; there's no middle ground here.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Passion EDP

Passion is properly divisive: a beastly, gothic powder-bomb, beloved by those who want to smell dark and mysterious, but completely overwhelming for others. Definitely a 'try before you buy' to see if you're a vamp or a victim.

Season and Occasion Fit

Knowing

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

This fragrance is renowned for its beast-mode projection and longevity, making it less suitable for office wear where subtlety is often key. Its deep, complex, and luxurious chypre profile, coupled with strong performance, makes it perfect for formal events or a memorable date night.

Passion

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its nuclear projection and lasting power make it too potent for office wear, but perfect for dates and formal events where you want to make a statement. Reviewers often mention wearing it for 'naughty nights' or 'gothic' occasions rather than casual daytime activities.
