Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red
This 80s powerhouse is a total blast from the past, though not without its detractors. Love it or hate it, Red is a force of nature - a bold, spicy cherry bomb that commands attention. Go easy on the trigger; a little goes a very long way.

Our Verdict - Marjan
Marjan is a divisive one. You'll either love its bold, ambered floral punch with a tropical edge, or find it a bit much. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you like strong, unique scents, this might just be your jam.

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it unsuitable for an office setting, as many reviews highlight its 'too much' quality. The rich, sensual accords and strong sillage are perfect for dates and formal events, though some find it acceptable for casual wear with careful application.
