Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Essentials No.10 Eau de Parfum
A shockingly powerful budget take on woody-oud-amber masculinity, Essentials No.10 punches far above its price, delivering beastly performance and a commanding, elegant trail. Not for wallflowers or heatwaves.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Baraonda Eau de Parfum
This isn't just a booze-tinged scent; it's a full-on, richly textured whiskey experience, divisive for some, but a masterpiece for others. It commands attention and oozes sophistication, making it a firm favourite for those who want to stand out.

Season and Occasion Fit

Essentials No.10 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The warm spicy-woody-ambery core with oud and sandalwood makes it ideal for cooler weather, especially fall and winter. It is wearable in spring's chill but too heavy for hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection, rich woody warmth and oud presence suit formal and evening events. Can be worn casually with restraint, but is too commanding and dense for sport or overly close office environments.

Baraonda Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and intense boozy, woody character make it a no-go for the office, risking offence rather than intrigue. It shines on date nights and formal events, creating an alluring and memorable impression. For casual wear, it's best reserved for cooler evenings when its warmth can truly be appreciated without being overwhelming.
