Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sumou Platinum Eau de Parfum

This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some reckon it's a solid, woody-sweet take on the blue fragrance genre, while others find it a cloying, 'jammy' mess. You'll either love it as a beefed-up take on Dylan Blue or wonder if you've been sold a duff bottle.

Our Verdict - Black Amber Eau de Parfum

This one's a gentle charmer, starting sweet and settling into a warm, woody embrace. It's not a beast, but it sticks around with a cosy presence.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sumou Platinum Eau de Parfum

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Sport

Its fresh yet woody and spicy character makes it versatile for casual outings and dates, leaning towards warmer weather. However, some find its projection can be 'shouty' or 'jammy' which might be too much for a formal setting or a quieter office environment.

Black Amber Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate projection and warm, inviting character make it suitable for close encounters like dates or casual outings. While not overpowering, the amber and woody accords might be a bit too intimate for formal settings, and it definitely isn't one for the gym.
