Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Encre Noire Eau de Toilette

This cult-favourite vetiver bomb is either a gothic masterpiece or a challenging, unwearable mess. It's affordable, distinctive, and certainly not for everyone - prepare for strong opinions, good or bad.

Statement

Our Verdict - Paris – Édimbourg Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper grower, isn't it? Initially divisive, with some finding it 'medicinal' or 'like an old lady', it quickly wins over most, transforming into a beloved, unique woody aromatic that truly shines. Definitely a must-try before you buy, though.

Season and Occasion Fit

Encre Noire Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Also Works:

Date Casual

While some find it professional, its strong, dark, earthy profile can be too polarising for a typical office environment. It works best casually or on dates, especially in cooler weather, as it evokes a mysterious and intriguing aura rather than mass appeal.

Paris – Édimbourg Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its fresh, clean, and rather subtle projection makes it excellent for office and casual wear, avoiding any obtrusive loudness. While some find it too masculine for formal settings, its sophisticated undertones allow for lighter evening wear, though it's not a powerhouse performer for dates.
