Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Back to Black Eau de Parfum

Divisive, complex, and utterly intriguing, Back to Black is either a masterpiece of dark honeyed tobacco or a baby wipes and urinal cake nightmare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, for better or worse.

Our Verdict - Cherry Ink Extrait

This polarizing cherry scent is a true original, fusing dark, boozy fruit with an avant-garde ink note. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, Cherry Ink is a masterpiece of dark complexity.

Season and Occasion Fit

Back to Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and rich, complex notes make it unsuitable for an office setting, but ideal for intimate date nights and formal events where its luxurious character can shine. It's often described as a 'night fragrance' or for colder weather, further limiting casual wear.

Cherry Ink Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold, long-lasting nature and significant sillage make it less suitable for office environments. However, its unique and sensual character shines on dates and formal occasions, while too heavy for casual day wear or sport.
