Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ikon
This used to be an absolute smash, a real dark horse offering luxury on a shoestring. Now? It's a genuine postcode lottery, with dodgy reformulated batches making it a total gamble. Proceed with caution - the original is a stunner, the new stuff is often rubbish.

Our Verdict - Aigner No 1
This one's a reliable, versatile fragrance that's a bit of a dark horse for compliments. It’s got a classic feel, but don’t worry, it avoids being truly 'old man' territory, despite some dissenting opinions. Best for those who appreciate understated elegance over flashy statements.

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Its warm, spicy, and smoky accords lend themselves well to evening wear and cooler climates, making it suitable for dates and formal events. While some find it office-friendly due to its moderate projection in certain formulations, others report it as too bold for daily wear, particularly if you land an original bottle.
