Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Playing With The Devil EDP
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Charlie Gold EDT
Divisive, nostalgic, and a genuine '90s bargain. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, this budget-friendly gem offers surprising depth and a warm, elegant embrace.

Also Works:
Autumn

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

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:

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.
