Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mortal Skin Eau de Parfum

Mortal Skin is a seriously polarising scent: some claim it's a masterpiece, a mysterious and addictive aroma that defies categorisation, whilst others find it 'icky', 'gross', or even like 'rotten meat'. Its divisive nature, coupled with frequent complaints about weak performance, means it's not a crowd-pleaser and definitely needs a test wear.

Our Verdict - Gdańsk Eau de Parfum

A divisive yet captivating scent, Gdańsk is a rich, boozy amber-leather with a jammy plum heart. It's not for everyone, with some finding it too heavy or familiar, but its fans adore its complex, sophisticated warmth. Definitely test before you commit.

Season and Occasion Fit

Mortal Skin Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Its dark, enigmatic character and the mixed reviews on sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office or casual wear. It leans towards evenings and special occasions where its unique scent can be appreciated without being overpowering, ideal for dates or formal events if the projection isn't too strong.

Gdańsk Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Given its strong projection and dense, heavy accords of amber, leather, and prominent sweet notes, Gdańsk is far too intense for office wear. It truly shines for date nights and formal evening events, offering a sensual, sophisticated presence, while being a bit too much for casual daytime activities.
