Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The World According to Arthur EDP
An opulent, incense-draped vanilla that radiates warmth and mystery without being brash. A plush, enveloping statement for cold nights and formal occasions, it is both modern and regal in its depth.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Vulcan Sable EDP
This one's a wild ride. Vulcan Sable kicks off with a divisive whisky and citrus punch, but give it time - the drydown often transforms into something smoother, creamy, and undeniably cosy for many. Some say it's sexy, others find it too challenging.

Season and Occasion Fit

The World According to Arthur

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Rich vanilla, incense, and amber make this best in cooler months, where its warmth and fullness shine. The sweetness and smokiness can be too enveloping for hot weather but are perfect for crisp fall and winter air.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its luxurious, resinous character and moderate projection suit formal events and elegant evenings. The sweet-smoky depth can be romantic but may overwhelm close office or athletic settings.

Vulcan Sable

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, boozy opening and often considerable projection make it less suitable for an office. However, the warm, sensual, and sometimes chocolatey drydown is perfect for date nights and cooler evening events. Its unique character could work casually, but it's far too rich for sport.
