Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Essencial Elixir
This Brazilian gem is a darker, boozier take on CH Men Prive, delivering a smoother, more sophisticated, and frankly, better blended experience. It's a proper grown-up scent, perfect for making a statement without shouting. Top marks for luxury on a budget.

Our Verdict - Yes I Am the King Icon
If you're after a budget-friendly woody-spicy scent, this one's a solid contender. It delivers a familiar, welcoming warmth, though some might find the execution a touch too synthetic. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who prioritise accessibility over absolute originality.

Season and Occasion Fit

Essencial Elixir

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 sillage and prominent boozy-leather accords make it less suitable for office wear, but its elegant and warm profile is perfect for dates, evening events, and formal gatherings. The powerful projection can be invasive in close quarters, while its complex depth is wasted on casual sports.

Yes I Am the King Icon

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

The warm and spicy notes make it a good fit for casual outings and dates, offering a comforting presence. Its moderate projection means it won't overwhelm an office, but it's perhaps a bit too relaxed for formal events and definitively not for sports.
