Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.

Occasions
With strong projection and long-lasting performance, this scent is best suited for evenings and cooler weather. Its gourmand sweetness and prominent patchouli make it a bit much for professional or active settings.
