Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Incident Diplomatique EDP

This is a serious, sophisticated vetiver and patchouli bomb for grown-ups. It's divisive, with some hailing it a masterpiece for its unique blend of dirty earthiness and fresh spice, while others find it too challenging or simply 'chocolatey vetiver'. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - 264 Mercedes-Benz EDP

An exact match, note for note, to the self-titled Mercedes-Benz eau de parfum's citrus-violet-pepper-vetiver structure.

Also Works:

Office

Its formal leaning accords and the 'boss scent' comments from reviewers make it suitable for formal occasions and dates. While some wear it to the office, its distinct, mature character makes it less ideal for casual or sporty settings where a lighter touch is often preferred.
