Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - De Profundis

This is a polarising masterpiece: a hauntingly beautiful, gothic floral that's either bottled melancholy or just a fancy floral. It's not for everyone, but if you're after something truly unique and emotionally resonant, it's worth seeking out - provided you can actually find a bottle.

Statement

Our Verdict - Yerbamate

This one's a wild card. Some reckon it's a unique, natural delight, a complex journey from sharp green to powdery softness. Others? Think old lady's makeup, baby wipes or even plastic dolls. Wear it if you dare, but definitely try it first.

Season and Occasion Fit

De Profundis

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

Its unique, introspective nature makes it less suitable for high-energy or casual settings. It's more of a contemplative, personal scent, fitting for formal events or intimate moments where its character can be appreciated without being overwhelming.

Yerbamate

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Sport

Its moderate projection and green, clean character make it versatile for casual wear and suitable for office environments if applied lightly. However, the unique, sometimes divisive powdery dry down and less conventional aroma reduce its appropriateness for formal events or romantic dates.
