Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Prestigium EDP
Black Prestigium is a divisive powerhouse. You'll either adore its bold, powdery rose-oud-leather mystique or find it utterly overwhelming and 'grandma's ass'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but for those it suits, it's a confident, elegant statement.

Our Verdict - Cruel Intentions EDP
This one's a proper hot mess, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. While some find it an intoxicating rose-oud dream, others are stuck with a plasticky, oversweet mess. Definitely try before you buy, but if it works for you, it *really* works.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Black Prestigium's beast-mode performance and opulent, dark accords make it unsuitable for office or casual wear where it would be overpowering. Its sophisticated profile with leathery and powdery elements, along with mentions of it being 'elegant' and for 'formal occasions', firmly place it in the evening and formal event categories.
