Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Etra Eau de Parfum

A divisive one, this. Those who get a full wear out of it reckon it's a classy, unique spicy-woody dream. But the overwhelming majority finds it too faint and fleeting, leaving much to be desired for the price.

Our Verdict - Amsterdam Eau de Parfum

Divisive yet intriguing, Amsterdam is for those who dare to be different. It’s got a loyal following who adore its unique floral spiciness, but others find it simply baffling, even a bit odd. Definitely not a blind buy.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its soft projection and warm, subtle spice make it perfect for office wear or casual outings, as it won't offend. However, its poor longevity means it struggles to make an impact for dates or formal events without constant reapplication, and it's too gentle for sport.

Gallivant Amsterdam has moderate projection and lasting power, making it versatile for various settings. Its unique, somewhat vintage floral-spicy character makes it suitable for date nights or casual outings, though less ideal for formal events or sports.
