Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Uncut Gem EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - The X Code EDT
If you're after a properly grown-up scent that means business, The X Code is your ticket. This isn't for the faint-hearted, it's a bold statement that backs up its swagger with serious depth.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

The X Code

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its bold, woody-spicy character, this scent is perhaps a bit much for a conservative office environment, though some find it acceptable for special work occasions. It truly shines on a date or formal evening, creating a memorable and sophisticated impression. While versatile enough for smart casual wear, its intensity makes it unsuitable for active sports.
