Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 315 Prestige Black EDT
If a generic blue spicy lavender scent is your jam, this might do the trick. Don't expect groundbreaking originality; it's a bit 'been there, smelled that,' particularly if you're not keen on the Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel vibe.

Our Verdict - Carios Extrait
Carios is a deeply divisive release. While some find its fresh, sweet, and spicy profile intoxicating and groundbreaking, others condemn it as overpriced, unoriginal, and even 'revolting'. The consensus is that it's a 'love it or hate it' from PdM, though its exorbitant price tag often tips the scales towards exasperation.

Season and Occasion Fit

315 Prestige Black

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and warm, spicy heart make it versatile for most settings, leaning towards more dressed-up occasions. While not overpowering, its distinct character might be a bit much for a very formal office, though the clean opening keeps it from being too heavy.

Carios

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its balanced fresh and spicy character makes it versatile for most occasions, with moderate projection perfectly suited for close-quarters like dates or the office. However, some find it too sweet or present for highly formal events, and certainly not for active sport.
