Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pavillon Rouge

A truly gorgeous boozy tobacco, but Jovoy seems to have kneecapped its performance in recent batches. Don't expect a beast, but do expect a warm, sexy scent for those who appreciate the finer things in life, delivered with subtlety.

Statement

Our Verdict - Bvlgari Man In Black

A modern classic that’s divisive in performance but universally loved for its boozy, spicy, and mature masculine charm. If you can get it to stick, you’re in for a treat.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pavillon Rouge

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

This is a rich, warm, and sophisticated fragrance, making it ideal for dates and formal events, though its performance varies for some. The strong boozy and tobacco accords make it less suitable for the office or casual daytime wear, as it's intended to be a statement rather than a background scent.

Bvlgari Man In Black

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

While quite strong in accords like rum and spice, the perceived moderate sillage and persistent reports of poor longevity make it acceptable for office wear. Its warm, dark, and sensual character makes it ideal for dates and formal evening events.
