Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Malbec Black EDP
This one's a proper spicy enigma, constantly compared to Bvlgari Man in Black but confidently carving its own path. Expect a boozy, warm hug that's less uptight and surprisingly long-lasting, though perhaps a tad overhyped by some.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Crème Men EDT
A clean, subtle scent for daily casual and office wear. Ideal for those who prefer understated fragrances.

Season and Occasion Fit

Malbec Black

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, and the warmth is all wrong for sporty activities. This is a scent for intimate dates and evening wear, with its sophisticated spicy-woody character lending itself well to formal occasions.

Crème Men

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

The fresh and soapy accords are suitable for spring when cleanliness and lightness are desirable; they also work moderately well in summer and early fall.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh and clean profile makes it ideal for office settings and casual outings. The low projection and moderate intensity reduce risk of overapplication.
