Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Charlie Gold Eau de Parfum
Divisive, nostalgic, and a genuine '90s bargain. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, this budget-friendly gem offers surprising depth and a warm, elegant embrace.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Arsenic Osman Extreme Extrait
This osmanthus-led beast is either a divisive makeup bag accord or a multi-faceted, fruity-floral dream; a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Definitely one to try before you buy, but don't expect it to be a quiet one.

Occasions

Best For:

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its 'Extreme' designation, strong sillage, and polarizing nature, this is unsuitable for the office. Its bold, multifaceted character and reported longevity make it perfect for dates and evening formal events, while being a bit much for casual wear.
