Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Colosseum EDP
A divisive take on a popular scent profile, Colosseum is a boozy, fruity amber that some find irresistible, while others are left cold by its sharp edges and perceived lack of depth. Love it or leave it, it's certainly got people talking.
Statement
Our Verdict - Straight to Heaven Extreme EDP
This one's a divisive beast, a boozy, woody ride that some call a masterpiece and others just won't get on with. Expect a deep, seductive aroma that projects confidence and refinement. It won't be for everyone, but if it clicks for you, prepare for an intoxicating experience.

Season and Occasion Fit

Colosseum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

While some find this wearable in the office, its prominent boozy and sweet fruity notes prevent it from being a solid professional choice. It's much better suited for casual outings or dates, and its warmth can even work for formal events, though it lacks true gravitas. Sport is out of the question for this amber-heavy scent profile.

Straight to Heaven Extreme

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With strong projection and long-lasting performance, this scent is too bold for a typical office environment. Reviews repeatedly highlight its masculinity and sexiness, making it ideal for dates and special formal events, especially in cooler weather.
