Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black XS (2018) Eau de Parfum
This updated Black XS is a polarising beast. Some rave about its playful sweetness and mass-appealing charm, while others lament its weakened performance and what they see as a diluted version of the original. Expect compliments, but don't expect it to last.
Statement
Our Verdict - Whisky Homme Sport Eau de Toilette
This budget-friendly 'sport' fragrance nails an uplifting citrus-ginger vibe, making it a surprisingly strong contender for everyday wear, if you don't mind reapplying. It’s certainly a crowd-pleaser for its price, though don't expect it to rival its luxury inspirations.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black XS (2018) Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet, playful nature and limited longevity make it less suitable for formal or office settings. It excels in casual and date scenarios where its charming, approachable scent can be appreciated up close, especially for younger wearers.

Whisky Homme Sport Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean, and citrusy nature makes it perfect for casual and sporty settings, especially in hot weather. While generally inoffensive for the office, its weaker performance means it won't last a full workday and its 'sport' character isn't suited for formal events.
