Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Artist No. 2 Eau de Parfum
This one is an absolute bruiser, inspiring fervent devotion and outright disgust in equal measure. If you're after a shy floral, look elsewhere. For a bold, take-no-prisoners statement, this might just be your beast.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vie Sol Eau de Parfum
This one's a game of patience; the divisive opening needs to be pushed through to reach the sophisticated, woody core. If you love a rich frankincense and oud blend, stick with it.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Artist No. 2 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This powerful and divisive scent, with reports of beast mode performance post-maceration, is far too imposing for an office or casual setting. It’s perfect for formal, authoritative occasions or a daring evening date where you want to make an unforgettable statement.

Vie Sol Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

While quite strong, its sophisticated and complex nature makes it suitable for formal settings and dates. Many find it office-appropriate despite its uniqueness, but the initial, somewhat challenging opening might not be for every casual or sport wearer.
