Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Scandal By Night EDP
A divisive yet sought-after gourmand, Scandal By Night is a honey-drenched, cherry-infused powerhouse. You'll either adore its syrupy sweetness or find it utterly overwhelming - there's rarely an in-between. Expect compliments, and expect to make a statement.

Our Verdict - Gran Ballo EDP
A divisive floral gourmand that’s either a 'refined Viva La Juicy' or just a pricier clone. Expect sweetness and white florals, but don't always bank on the longevity Xerjoff is known for. Definitely try before you buy, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.

Season and Occasion Fit

Scandal By Night

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

This is a heavy, sweet fragrance with significant projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office or sports setting. It shines brightest on dates and evening occasions, as its seductive nature is often mentioned in reviews; some find it too much even for formal events due to its intensity.

Gran Ballo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its sweet and creamy profile makes it a lovely choice for casual wear and dates, but its moderate sillage keeps it from being overwhelming for the office. It's generally too playful and sweet for formal events and completely unsuited for sport.
