Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Devil's Intrigue Eau de Parfum
A perplexing charmer by all accounts. Many rave about its addictive, sensual warmth, while others are left wondering if it's just another expensive version of something they've smelled before. The 'Devil' might be in the price tag, not the scent.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Tainted Love Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper love-or-hate affair. Some find it a beautifully complex, dark vanilla, others get bug spray or synthetic nastiness. Definitely try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Devil's Intrigue Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and intimate projection make it suitable for close encounters, scoring high for dates. While generally inoffensive and soft, the sensual woody and vanilla accords are less ideal for formal events or sports. Its subtle nature allows for office wear, but the price point suggests something more special than daily grind.

Tainted Love Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

While some find it intimate enough for the office, its sensual and mysterious nature makes it a perfect fit for a date night. The soft sillage reported by many means it won't overpower, making it versatile for a range of casual and evening wear, but it's not well-suited for sport.
