Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Smoked Plum & Leather

This one's a divisive beast. Many love the rich, mysterious blend of plum, smoke, and leather for its luxurious, seductive character. However, others find it leans too heavily into the smoky, leathery elements, dismissing the fruit as an afterthought or even absent altogether.

Statement

Our Verdict - Gioco all'Alba

This one's a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. Gioco all'Alba is a potent, unapologetic whisky bomb that'll either earn you compliments or raise eyebrows with its boozy swagger. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or nose.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong smoky and leather accords, this is far too intense for office wear, which aligns with community reviews suggesting a 'mysterious olfactory ambience'. It excels for dates and formal events, creating an alluring and sophisticated presence. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling particularly bold, but sport is an absolute no-go.

Formal

Its beast-mode performance and strong boozy opening make it entirely unsuitable for office wear or casual daytime outings, where it might overwhelm. However, its unique, sophisticated character and potent sillage make it a standout choice for distinctive formal events or intimate evening dates, as long as you're not planning on driving.
