Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sadonaso Eau de Parfum

Sadonaso is a wildly polarising scent that you absolutely need to test on skin, not just a strip. The 'urinal cake' opening is real for many, but for those whose skin chemistry unlocks it, it transforms into a uniquely dirty, musky vanilla. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you dare, it's addictively sensual and artfully perverse.

Our Verdict - Labdanum 18 Eau de Parfum

Labdanum 18 is a divisive animalic musk that's either a cosy, sophisticated baby powder bomb or a challenging, almost offensive 'petting zoo' scent. It's not for everyone, but if it works with your skin chemistry, it's an addictive and much-loved modern classic.

Spring

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

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

This is not an office scent; its intense animalic and musky nature would be highly inappropriate. It excels on dates, especially in intimate settings, given its 'sexy' and 'seductive' reputation among fans. While too intense for everyday casual wear, some might enjoy its unique character for a statement evening out, but it's far too 'dirty' for formal events.

Also Works:

Casual

Its warmth, sweetness, and prominent animalic notes make it better suited for intimate dates or formal evening wear rather than a professional office. While some find it comforting casually, its intensity can be too much for everyday wear or active sport.
