Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure Black Eau de Parfum

A truly superb 'cheapie' that punches well above its weight, Pure Black is a vanilla-driven dream. Don't let the low price fool you, this is a smooth, versatile crowd-pleaser that gives far more expensive niche and designer fragrances a run for their money.

Our Verdict - 001 Woman Eau de Parfum

A creamy, woody sandalwood scent that everyone seems to find elegant, even if the price and performance don't always hit the mark. It's a soft, versatile vibe that some find 'sexy' and others, a bit boring.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pure Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate projection and generally soft nature make it suitable for office wear if applied lightly, but it truly shines in romantic and casual settings. The sweet, warm profile is less ideal for sports but can work for cooler formal events where a more approachable sweetness is welcome.

Date

Its subtle sillage and clean, creamy accords make it perfect for the office and casual wear, as many reviews highlight its 'inoffensive' nature. While some find it 'sexy' for dates, its limited projection makes it less ideal for formal events or sports.
