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 - Sherwood EDP

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Sherwood is less 'forest fantasy' and more 'creamy sandalwood enigma'. Some reckon it's a smooth, comforting dream, others find it a nauseating, persistent nightmare. Definitely one to sample, as it clearly hits different for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.

Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate sillage and creamy, soft character make it suitable for close-proximity situations like dates and casual wear. While some find it office-appropriate, others report strong longevity and a 'creamy thick' quality that could be too much in a formal or very professional setting.
