Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Back to Black Eau de Parfum

Divisive, complex, and utterly intriguing, Back to Black is either a masterpiece of dark honeyed tobacco or a baby wipes and urinal cake nightmare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, for better or worse.

Our Verdict - Invite Only Amber I 23 Eau de Parfum

This one's a goner, and the fans are grieving hard. Invite Only Amber I 23 was Kayali's sophisticated, boozy amber-tobacco masterpiece, now sorely missed. It's divisive for some, but a 'femme fatale' winter stunner for its devotees.

Season and Occasion Fit

Back to Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and rich, complex notes make it unsuitable for an office setting, but ideal for intimate date nights and formal events where its luxurious character can shine. It's often described as a 'night fragrance' or for colder weather, further limiting casual wear.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant sillage is far too commanding for an office setting. However, its sexy, luxurious character is perfectly suited for date nights and formal winter occasions, though too heavy for casual daytime wear.
