Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Bottled EDT

A timeless, crowd-pleasing masculine that blends crisp apple with sweet cinnamon and warm woods. Boss Bottled is effortlessly versatile, balancing freshness and spice for year-round wear and universal appeal.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Noir Epices EDP

Noir Epices is a truly polarising fragrance; a sophisticated, spicy oriental that some hail as a masterpiece and others find far too vintage, bordering on medicinal. You'll either adore its bitter orange and clove intensity or recoil from its potent blend.

Season and Occasion Fit

Boss Bottled

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

The spicy cinnamon and warm woods suit fall and winter, while the fresh apple and citrus top make it viable for spring. Its warmth can be a bit much for hot summer days but works in cooler evenings.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Versatile projection and mass-appeal make it safe for office and casual use. The warm, slightly sweet drydown is inviting for dates. It is generally too refined for sweaty sports and just formal enough for business, but not black tie.

Noir Epices

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it less suitable for an office setting, where it might be too dominant. However, its complex, luxurious spicy profile is perfectly suited for formal events and intimate dates, offering a distinctive and memorable presence.
