Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Essential Eau de Parfum
Angel Schlesser's Essential is a charmingly understated 'your skin but better' scent, loved for its clean, fresh allure but occasionally criticised for its subtle performance. Ideal for those who prefer their presence felt, not announced, though some perceive it as simply 'plain'.

Our Verdict - Addicted Silver Eau de Parfum
This one is a divisive take on a classic DNA. It's not the crowd-pleaser some hope for, with its metallic edge and toned-down fruitiness, but if you're after a fresh, clean scent with a bit of an inky bite, then Addicted Silver might just be your jam.

Season and Occasion Fit

Essential Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and subtle projection makes it perfect for office wear or casual daily use. While not a powerhouse, its intimate nature could suit a close-contact date, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

Addicted Silver Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Given its fresh, clean profile and decent longevity on skin, this works well for casual everyday wear and could easily be an office scent if applied lightly. Its unique metallic twist makes it less suited for formal events but it's a solid choice for a casual outing.
