Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sticky Dates EDP
Sticky Dates is a polarizing gourmand beast that smells like an actual bakery, not a perfume. You'll either love smelling like caramel lava or find it sickly sweet and overwhelming. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as its intensity and singular focus on dessert notes make it a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Our Verdict - Sound of a Ricochet EDP
Divisive yet magnetic, Sound of a Ricochet is not for the faint-hearted. It polarises with its strong character, drawing comparisons to MFK Grand Soir but with a unique, sometimes challenging, smoky-woody vanilla twist. It's a statement scent, demanding appreciation.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sticky Dates

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its beast-mode projection and intense sweetness make it completely unsuitable for the office or formal events, where subtlety is key. It can work for a casual night out or a date if applied lightly, but many find it too much for most social situations. Best kept for cozy, relaxed settings or as a room spray.
