Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sublime EDP
This is a real marmite scent - you'll either adore its warm, golden embrace or find it a bit too much. Sublime is a truly classic, sophisticated floral that demands attention, but be warned: reformulations divide opinion, so hunt for a vintage bottle if you want the full, unadulterated experience.

Our Verdict - Alien EDT
A divisive scent for sure: some adore this lighter take on Alien's iconic jasmine, finding it fresh and wearable all year round. Others reckon it's a watered-down shadow of the EDP with a synthetic edge. Try before you buy, obviously.

Sublime's strong sillage and 'old money' feel make it less suitable for the office, where it might be too overpowering. It excels in formal and date settings, conveying elegance and sophistication, as many reviewers indicated it made them feel glamorous and well-dressed.

While lighter than its EDP sibling, Alien EDT still has notable presence and can be too much for a conservative office. Its sensual and distinctive character is perfect for dates and evening events, and it's wearable casually due to its brighter accords.
