Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Made to Measure EDP
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Reviews are all over the shop; some absolutely love its subtle charm, others reckon it's a weak, forgettable mess. Expect either a pleasant surprise or utter disappointment.
Statement
Our Verdict - Tailor Made For Men EDP
A budget version of Gucci Made to Measure. Tailor Made reproduces the smooth oriental-spicy structure - aromatic top, nutmeg-cinnamon heart, labdanum-leather base - but renders it flatter, with the original's elegant fresh-spicy polish reading a little rougher and less refined.

Season and Occasion Fit

Made to Measure

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its generally weak projection and inoffensive nature make it perfect for the office or casual day wear where subtlety is key. Some find it suitable for dates due to its gentle aura, but its lack of strong sillage limits its impact in formal settings or during sport.

Tailor Made For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The warm spicy heart and resinous leather base suit cooler autumn and winter days more than summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its smart, oriental-spicy character makes it a strong office and formal option that also works for evenings.
