Which Should You Buy?
This unexpected gem, an affordable celebrity scent, frequently draws comparisons to far more expensive fragrances. Whilst some find the opening messy, the consensus is that the dry down is a seductive, unisex woody-amber that punches well above its weight. Ignore the occasionally divisive marketing; the scent itself is a winner.
This woody aromatic is a divisive one - some find it a gorgeous, refined Italian scent, others find it too old-school and generic. Expect clean, fresh woody florals with a hint of incense, but be prepared for a strong personality.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its warm, woody and amber accords, Devil's Advocate is ideal for date nights or formal events where an intimate, seductive scent is desired. While it performs reasonably well, its rich character makes it less suitable for the office or active wear, but some users appreciate its versatility for casual day-to-day wear, especially in cooler weather.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and woody profile, along with moderate sillage and EDP performance cited by reviewers, makes it suitable for office and formal wear without being overpowering. The sophisticated blend also lends itself well to date nights, though its classic structure might not be ideal for casual or sport settings.
