Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - In Black EDP
This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a smoky, boozy, black cherry dream; for others, a cloying, synthetic headache in a bottle. Blind buy at your peril - this dark beauty demands a test sniff.

Our Verdict - Pleasures Delight EDP
A divisive Estée Lauder gourmand from yesteryear that's surprisingly sophisticated for its notes. Some find it a balanced 'fruitchouli', while others are put off by a strong patchouli opening and find it turns sickly or artificial on their skin. A proper love-it-or-hate-it.

Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and unique, dark sweetness make In Black less suitable for polite office wear, but perfect for dates where you want to make a statement. The rich, almost boozy, and often polarising character isn't ideal for casual daytime use or sport, but could work for formal evening events.
