Which Should You Buy?
This one's a passionate affair, not a casual fling. Criminal of Love is a dark, sensual rose-tobacco blend that polarises with its intensity. While some find it an intoxicating masterpiece, others are put off by its 'medicinal' opening. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or for the office, apparently.
Hunter Killer Man is a divisive, beast-mode tobacco and spice bomb. It's not a safe blind buy and definitely needs to macerate to show its true colours. Expect compliments from some, rejection from others.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and overtly sensual nature, this scent is entirely unsuitable for the office, as many reviewers agree. It shines brightest on dates or for special evening occasions where its captivating, dark intensity can truly be appreciated, making it a poor choice for casual wear or sport.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature, particularly after maceration, Hunter Killer Man is too potent for most office environments. It shines in more intimate evening settings like dates and is suitable for formal events where its commanding scent can make a statement, but it's far too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Woody, Amber accords and Patchouli, Saffron notes
