Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Art of Arabia III Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper debate-starter. Some swear it's a beast-mode, luxurious dream, rivalling high-end niche. Others find it cloyingly sweet, synthetic, and frankly, a bit weird. Definitely buy a sample before diving in folks, because you'll either adore it or utterly detest it.

Our Verdict - Old Fashioned Eau de Parfum

Kilian's Old Fashioned is a divisonal boozy gourmand that delivers on its name, but isn't for everyone. Some find the realistic whiskey note captivating; others recoil from smelling like a "wealthy alcoholic old lady" or a night out. Not a safe blind-buy for the faint of liver.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its heavy sweet, amber, and tobacco accords, make it far too overwhelming for office wear or sport. However, these same characteristics, especially the indulgent date and amber notes, are perfect for an impactful date night or sophisticated formal event.

Old Fashioned Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

With its photorealistic boozy opening and strong amber character, this is best reserved for evening events or intimate dates, rather than the office. The scent profile is too direct and heavy for casual or sporty wear, but works well for formal occasions in cool weather when you want to make a statement.
