Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Penguin Eau de Parfum
Prepare for extreme polarising views; this either nails the 'cold' brief in an artistic, captivating way, or it's just a strange, synthetic mess. It's a challenging wear for many, but if you're seeking true niche artistry, this could be your new obsession.
Statement
Our Verdict - Abyssis Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously divisive scent. Some say it's an atmospheric masterpiece that captures the deep, moody ocean, while others find it simply repulsive. Definitely not for the faint of heart, or for a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Penguin Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its potent 'ice' opening and pronounced musky-ozonic character make it a bit much for a conservative office. However, its uniqueness and intriguing scent profile can be quite captivating for a date, offering a sophisticated edge. Though many find it wearable, its artistic, polar theme makes it less of an everyday casual reach.

Abyssis Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its bold, marine character and potential for strong sillage make it less suited for a conservative office environment. However, its unique and intriguing profile, often described as dark or seductive, lends itself well to casual wear and dates, particularly in warmer months, as long as it's applied judiciously.
