Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Au Masculin Eau de Parfum

This early noughties gem is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent licorice and anise, backed by sweet vanilla and boozy warmth. If you appreciate a unique, sweet-spicy signature, you're in for a treat, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Acquired

Our Verdict - of the Missions Cologne

A legendary, warm vanilla with a cult following and a tragic discontinuation story. Widely praised as a natural, boozy vanilla extract, it's adored for its comforting, sophisticated aroma-if you can still find it for a decent price. Often described as a 'masterpiece'.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong, sweet, and unique profile makes it a standout choice for dates and cooler casual outings, where its sillage can truly shine. The sweetness and potential for strong projection limit its appropriateness for office or formal settings, and it's definitely not one for sport.

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its intimate sillage and comforting vanilla make it perfect for casual wear and dates. While its 'cologne' label suggests lightness, some find it too sweet or present for a high-formality office, but it's generally versatile enough for most settings where close contact is appreciated.
