Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Au Masculin EDP
This early noughties gem is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent licorice and anise, backed by sweet vanilla and boozy warmth. If you appreciate a unique, sweet-spicy signature, you're in for a treat, but it's definitely not for everyone.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Mechant Loup EDP
This one's a proper mixed bag, isn't it? Some find it a wonderfully unique woody gourmand, while others are baffled by its weak performance or a puzzling absence of key notes. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation.

Season and Occasion Fit

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, sweet, and unique profile makes it a standout choice for dates and cooler casual outings, where its sillage can truly shine. The sweetness and potential for strong projection limit its appropriateness for office or formal settings, and it's definitely not one for sport.

Mechant Loup

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Mechant Loup leans towards casual and date wear due to its warm, inviting, and generally subtle character, as noted by reviewers. Its weak projection often makes it unsuitable for formal events or sports, yet it can be office-appropriate given its intimate sillage.
