Which Should You Buy?
A blind buy for confident men and a treasure for vintage hunters, Attitude Extreme is a discontinued gem for good reason. It's an intoxicating, sexy beast, though some will find its strong spice a bit much. A true gentleman's scent.
Black Onyx is a love-it-or-hate-it spicy powerhouse. Many find it a unique, classic masculine scent, while others recoil from its intense cardamom and dry, herbal qualities, often describing it as an 'old school barbershop'. Not for the faint of heart, it's a statement piece.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense spicy-amber profile make it too much for the office but perfect for dates and formal events where you want to make an impression. Reviewers often highlight its 'sexy' and 'gentleman's scent' qualities, indicating it's best for occasions that call for sophistication rather than casual wear.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense, divisive spicy profile make it less suitable for office wear where subtlety is key. However, its strong performance and unique character lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, particularly in cooler weather, though some find it casual enough for a relaxed weekend.
