Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Arabican Rose EDP
A truly divisive rose, with some finding it a comforting, intimate embrace and others recoiling from a 'medicinal' or 'old-school' vibe. If you love a jammy rose with a shot of bitter coffee, this might be your unconventional cup of tea.

Our Verdict - Black XS for Her EDT
This one's a proper ride-or-die for many, but others find it a bit of a meh-fest, a real love-it-or-hate-it kinda scent. It's divisive chatter about a heady, dark sweetness that evokes serious nostalgia for those who wore it back in the day.

Season and Occasion Fit

Arabican Rose

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and intimate nature make it suitable for close encounters like dates, where its warmth cultivates romance. While perhaps a bit too cosy for a formal setting, it's elegant enough to pass, particularly in cooler months, but its distinctive character might be distracting for an office environment. This is certainly not for sport, its rich warmth conflicting with activity.

Black XS for Her

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent projection, longevity, and dense, dark sweetness make it rather inappropriate for an office environment, as many reviewers note it can be overwhelming. However, this same intensity makes it perfect for dates and evening events due to its sensual and seductive nature, though perhaps a touch too casual for serious formal wear.
