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.
A divisive blend that's either a uniquely sophisticated spicy tobacco dream or a cold, masculine 'rocket fuel'. This one demands a skin test - it's not a blind buy for the faint-hearted.

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
Its potent spicy, tobacco and leather notes, which lean masculine for some, suggest it's more suited for evening or cooler weather occasions. While some might wear it casually, its distinctive character could be too imposing for a quiet office setting.
