Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Gold Eau de Parfum

Black Gold is a divisive one. You'll either get an incredibly luxurious, clean, and masculine lavender-leather dream, or a headache-inducing floral soap that reminds you of your nan. Definitely try before you buy, as personal chemistry truly dictates the experience.

Our Verdict - Jazz Eau de Parfum

This is a seriously divisive one. Some hail Jazz as an undisputed masterpiece, a timeless classic that screams mature masculinity. Others, however, find it dated, bordering on unpleasant, with reformulations hitting particularly hard. You'll either love its aggressive opening and smooth drydown, or you'll find it an overwhelming blast from the past.

Occasions

Best For:

Its blend of freshness and underlying sophistication makes it versatile for many settings. While praised for its performance, its unique and occasionally strong floral leanings might be a bit much for some office environments, making it better suited for evenings and formal events.

Jazz Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Jazz's strong, classic profile and considerable projection make it suitable for formal events and dates where you want to make an impression. It's a bit much for casual wear, and while some wear it to the office, its bold presence might be distracting. It is definitely not a sport fragrance.
