Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bad Lad Pour Homme EDP
This one's a crowd-pleaser for sure. Bad Lad Pour Homme is a strong, sweet-spicy take on a popular scent DNA, delivering fantastic performance at a bargain price. If you like your fragrances bold and unapologetic, this is for you.

Our Verdict - Polo Double Black EDT
A truly gorgeous scent that has been tragically let down by woeful performance. If only Polo Double Black delivered on its promise, it would be a certified legend, but prepare to reapply, and then reapply again. The mango-coffee-pepper combo is legitimately divine though, and still worth indulging in.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bad Lad Pour Homme

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its strong sillage and longevity make it less suitable for the office, but perfect for dates and casual outings where you want to make an impression. The warm, sweet spice profile lends itself well to evenings and cooler weather, making it versatile for various social settings.

Polo Double Black

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its intimate projection makes it suitable for office wear, but the seductive spiced mango and coffee notes lean heavily towards date nights. The poor longevity means it's best for shorter casual outings or situations where frequent reapplication is possible rather than high-stakes formal events or sports.
