Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dark Rum Eau de Parfum

Don't let the name fool you - this ain't no deep, boozy rum. It's a surprisingly clean, fresh take on plum and leather with a creamy, almost shampoo-like softness. Some find it sexy and addictive, others call it a 'basic ass plum' or 'laundry detergent'. A divisive scent where a blind buy is definitely not advised.

Our Verdict - Sun Cities Eau de Parfum

Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it situation here. It's giving 'Ganymede with a tropical twist' and, depending on who you ask, that's either ingenious or a Frankenstein's monster of fragrances. Definitely one to try before you buy, but don't knock it until you've sniffed it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Dark Rum Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate projection and clean character make it versatile for casual wear and date nights, where its subtle sensuality can shine. However, its fruitiness and perceived lack of 'seriousness' by some, combined with variable longevity, make it less suited for formal settings or vigorous sport.

Sun Cities Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its bold, fruity-sweet, and leathery profile, especially with tropical notes, makes it a bit much for the office. However, its sophisticated and attention-grabbing nature, as noted by community reviews, suits dates and casual outings well, and it would work for some less stuffy formal events.
