Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Uncut Gem Eau de Parfum
Uncut Gem is a divisive one, splitting opinion between those who love its sharp, modern masculinity and those who find it an abrasive, synthetic rehash. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but for those it clicks with, it's a confident, everyday signature.

Our Verdict - Encode Eau de Parfum
Skip this 'clone of a clone'; the overwhelming community consensus screams 'waste of money'. Poor performance and a muddled scent profile make this one an easy pass. You've been warned.

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

No strong occasion fit

Given the widespread reports of minimal sillage and poor longevity, this fragrance is unlikely to be appropriate for almost any occasion. Its weak nature wouldn't make an impact in social settings and offers little personal enjoyment.
