Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Playing With The Devil Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a juicy, fruity revelation with a spicy kick, while others are convinced it smells like 'pink medicine' or even body odour. Definitely one to sample first before you commit, as your skin chemistry will make or break it.

Our Verdict - Cocktail Maracuja Extrait
This one's a divisive beast of a fragrance. For some, it's a vibrant, boozy fruit cocktail with incredible longevity; for others, it's a harsh, synthetic mess recalling urinal cakes or air freshener. Definitely try before you buy, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its strong fruity and spicy accords, often noted for their excellent sillage and longevity by some, make it a bit much for the office. It's much better suited for casual outings or dates where its unique character can truly shine without overpowering. It's too complex and rich for sport.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent nature and often polarising dry-down make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its bold, fruity, and spicy accords lend themselves well to casual outings or a fun night out, especially given its exceptional longevity for many users.
