Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Artisan Black
This one's a divisive beast, a cult favourite for its unique dark citrus, woody charm contrasted with its tragically poor longevity. It's a genuine shame because the scent profile consistently garners high praise, but wearers warn you'll be constantly re-spraying.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Empower You
This one's a bright, citrusy splash that promises to 'Empower You,' though the reality is a touch more modest. It's a pleasant, inoffensive scent that's easy to wear, but don't expect it to set the world alight.

Season and Occasion Fit

Artisan Black

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its poor longevity means it's safe for office wear, as it dissipates quickly. The sensual, dark citrus makes it an ideal choice for dates and casual outings, though not quite formal affairs given its relaxed undertones.

Empower You

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and projection, coupled with a fresh and inoffensive citrus-floral profile, make it highly suitable for office and casual wear. The brightness of the citrus also makes it a good fit for everyday activities and even light sport, though its lack of bold projection makes it less ideal for formal settings or a standout date night.
