Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Criminal of Love Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Bronze Eau de Parfum

Bronze is a divisive beast: some find it a mesmerising, magical tobacco masterpiece, others a challenging, overly masculine hay-and-honey nightmare. If you like your scents dry, serious, and with a pronounced spicy-tobacco hit, you might just fall head over heels.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

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.

Best For:

Also Works:

Date

Given its strong projection and heady nature, Bronze isn't suitable for office wear. Its distinct, sophisticated character makes it a good fit for formal events or evening dates where it can make a statement without being overpowering. Casual wear is pushing it; it's a scent that demands attention.
