Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A*Men Eau de Toilette

The original king of men's gourmand - a nuclear, caramel-laced juggernaut that wraps you in roasted coffee, patchouli, and sticky sweetness. Unapologetically bold, divisive, and unforgettable.

Our Verdict - Lapidus Eau de Parfum

Lapidus Pour Homme: a true 80s powerhouse. It's a divisive beast - you'll either adore its audacious blend of honey and masculinity, or you'll recoil from its unapologetic vintage roar. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but for those who know, it's a masterpiece.

Season and Occasion Fit

A*Men Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A*Men's thick, sweet, and spicy-gourmand character is ideal for cold weather, thriving in fall and winter. The heavy caramel, coffee, and patchouli notes can easily overwhelm in heat, so it's best avoided in summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

A*Men is too bold and enveloping for typical office or sporty wear, but its confident projection works for nights out, formal events, and romantic occasions, especially in the cold.

Lapidus Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

This is a beast-mode fragrance with strong projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting where it could easily overwhelm. Its bold, masculine character and sensual honey-tobacco notes lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, though some find it too 'old-school' for modern palates. It's a bit much for casual wear, and definitely not for sport.
