Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dzing! Eau de Parfum

This one's a wild ride - love it or totally detest it, Dzing! by L'Artisan Parfumeur is an experience. It's a cult classic for a reason, blending the weird and wonderful in a way that truly divides opinion. Sniff before you buy, but whatever you get, it won't be boring.

Statement

Our Verdict - Cuir Noir Eau de Parfum

A smooth, classy leather-vanilla blend that's almost universally loved for its refined scent, but bitterly divisive when it comes to performance. If you want subtle elegance, you'll adore it; if you want a powerhouse, you'll be seriously disappointed by its fleeting nature.

Spring

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

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

Dzing!'s strong, animalic, and sweet accords aren't exactly office-friendly. However, its unique and sensual character makes it a standout choice for intimate dates, with several reviewers finding it a 'hugging scent' and 'seductive'. It needs to be oversprayed for sillage suitable for casual wear, but is far too bold for formal events or sport.

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

The sophisticated leather, vanilla, and oud blend makes it excellent for date nights and formal events, lending an air of refinement. Its subdued projection, while a point of contention for some, actually makes it suitable for office wear where discretion is key, and it works well for classy casual winter outings. It's far too elegant and not suited for sport.
