Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 33 EDC

Penhaligon's No. 33 is a deeply divisive scent, with some hailing it as a subtle masterpiece while others dismiss it as weak and forgettable. Its performance is a significant sticking point, though those who love it praise its refined, calming character.

Our Verdict - Halston 101 EDP

This one's a true legend - a much-missed, intensely masculine powerhouse that devotees are desperate to resurrect. It evokes pure nostalgia and has a cult following for a reason.

Season and Occasion Fit

No. 33

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its generally weak projection and close-to-skin nature make it ideal for office wear, where it won't offend. The subtle sophistication also suits formal and casual settings, though its lack of bold sillage makes it less impactful for dates or energetic activities.

Halston 101

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold projection and robust, classic profile mean it's probably a bit much for a quiet office, but it excels in formal settings or on a date. It's too assertive for casual sportswear, yet many consider it a signature scent.
