Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Galatea EDP
Prepare for a long haul: Galatea is a fruity-leather that demands serious maceration - we're talking months, maybe even a year - to reveal its full, genuinely impressive potential. Out of the box? Expect anything from plastic to burnt rubber.

Our Verdict - Alexandria Orientale EDP
This one is a properly divisive beast. Alexandria Orientale promises a rich, complex oud but delivers a challenging opening that will either turn heads or turn stomachs. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little room for indifference.

Season and Occasion Fit

Galatea

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This powerful, long-lasting scent with moderate projection is too commanding for an office setting but perfect for dates and evening events. Its unique edgy character makes it a good fit for sophisticated casual outings, though definitely not for sport.

Alexandria Orientale

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its enormous longevity and projection, this is entirely unsuitable for an office environment, where it would overwhelm. It shines brightest at formal events or on a sophisticated date night, where its strength and unique character can be appreciated.
