Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oriental Edition II
This is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, an 'addictive toxic relationship' of a fragrance that demands attention. Some get a refined rose-praline; others, a medicinal, synthetic mess. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're bold enough, Oriental Edition II might just be your intoxicating secret weapon.

Our Verdict - Essence of the Other World
A potent, heady jasmine bomb that confidently straddles the line between overtly feminine and boldly unisex. If you're after that iconic 'Alien' DNA on a budget, this is it, but be warned: performance chatter is all over the shop, from beast mode to barely-there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Oriental Edition II

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its significant projection and strong, dark oriental character make it too assertive for office wear. However, its sexy, mysterious vibe, long-lasting performance, and compliments make it ideal for date nights and formal events, especially in cooler weather.

Essence of the Other World

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent nature and strong projection, as noted by many, make it less an office scent and more a statement piece. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its sensual and bold character can truly be appreciated, though some find it versatile enough for confident casual wear.
