Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Reporter for Men Eau de Toilette
A divisive scent with a split personality: some find it a fresh, natural-smelling daily driver; others a throwback powerhouse. It's affordable, but be warned, formulations vary wildly.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Stairway to Heaven Eau de Parfum
A divisive scent for the modern palate. For some, it's an intriguing journey of incense and vanilla; for others, a chaotic mishmash. Definitely not a blind buy.

Stairway to Heaven Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its distinctive, complex profile with prominent incense and vanilla makes it a bit too bold for a typical office setting, but perfect for dates or evening casual wear. The warmth and spice lend themselves well to cooler weather and social gatherings, though it might be a bit much for formal occasions given its modern edge. It's certainly not suited for sport.
