Devil's Advocate

Which Should You Buy?
This isn't for the faint of heart - a truly polarising oud bomb that fills a room and then some. You'll either love its dark, animalic depth or find it overwhelmingly skanky. Definitely one to try before you buy, unless you're a seasoned oud aficionado.
This unexpected gem, an affordable celebrity scent, frequently draws comparisons to far more expensive fragrances. Whilst some find the opening messy, the consensus is that the dry down is a seductive, unisex woody-amber that punches well above its weight. Ignore the occasionally divisive marketing; the scent itself is a winner.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its nuclear performance and room-filling sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, as many mentioned it could offend those not used to bold oud. It's best reserved for cooler weather, evenings, and formal settings where its intensity can be appreciated without overwhelming a tight space.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its warm, woody and amber accords, Devil's Advocate is ideal for date nights or formal events where an intimate, seductive scent is desired. While it performs reasonably well, its rich character makes it less suitable for the office or active wear, but some users appreciate its versatility for casual day-to-day wear, especially in cooler weather.
