Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hypnotizing Fire
A divisive yet addictive scent, Hypnotizing Fire offers a unique, compelling warmth that some adore and others find overwhelming or simply 'meh'. Be warned: the price tag draws ire, but for many, it's a cold-weather masterpiece.

Our Verdict - This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a unique spiced amber, a Christmas cake in a bottle. Others think it's a nasty concoction of curry and toilet cleaner. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hypnotizing Fire

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With strong projection and a sensual, warm spicy profile, this is best reserved for evenings and cooler weather. It's too assertive for most office environments but absolutely shines on a date or formal occasion.

This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.4

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its sweet and spicy nature, which some find strong and others subtle, leans it away from being an ideal office scent. It could work for a date night, bringing a unique, intriguing aura, but it's probably too polarising for many formal events.
