Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mandragore Eau de Parfum

This is a truly divisive scent. Often called a 'magic potion', its fresh spicy-herbal hit is either an addictive, unique masterpiece or, for others, an unwearable 'anti-mosquito disinfectant'. Absolutely try before you buy.

Our Verdict - New York Intense Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper grown-up scent, divisive as hell but with a passionate following. You'll either get the hype of this classic, masculine powerhouse or you'll think it smells like an old bloke's aftershave before he clipped his nose hairs. It takes a certain wearer, but it's pure class for those who get it.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date

Given its fresh, light, and natural character along with moderate projection, Mandragore is well-suited for casual and sporty wear. Many find it too unique or not potent enough for formal events, while its herbal clarity makes it a refreshing choice for the office or daytime dates.

New York Intense Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Office Date

Its sophisticated aromatic and spicy profile, combined with generally good longevity and moderate to strong sillage, makes it perfect for formal events and the office. It's a bit too refined for casual wear and definitely not for sport, while opinions are split on date nights, with some finding it sexy and others too 'old-school'.
