Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Artist No. 2
This one is an absolute bruiser, inspiring fervent devotion and outright disgust in equal measure. If you're after a shy floral, look elsewhere. For a bold, take-no-prisoners statement, this might just be your beast.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Taif
This one is a proper head-turner, but only for the truly dedicated rose lovers. It's a powerhouse, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent that demands attention.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Artist No. 2

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This powerful and divisive scent, with reports of beast mode performance post-maceration, is far too imposing for an office or casual setting. It’s perfect for formal, authoritative occasions or a daring evening date where you want to make an unforgettable statement.

Taif

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and strong sillage make it unsuitable for an office setting where subtlety is preferred. However, its commanding presence and oriental floral nature are perfect for special evening wear and formal occasions, and it truly shines on a date night where you want to make an impression.
