Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - In the City of Sin

This one is a real head-scratcher and a classic case of 'your mileage may vary'. It's either an enchanting spicy fruit dream or a cloying, awkward mess. Best to try before you buy, unless you enjoy fragrant Russian roulette.

Our Verdict - Rudis

Rudis is an absolute beast: a divisive, challenging, and utterly captivating scent that's either 'vile' and 'revolting' or an intoxicating journey through boozy leather and dried fruit. A true love-it-or-hate-it rebel for those who dare.

Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:

Rudis

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

The boozy, heavy nature of Rudis, with dominant leather and warm spicy accords, makes it unsuitable for office or casual wear. It shines on dates and formal occasions due to its complex, luxurious, and bold character, as many reviewers indicate it's 'date wear' or suited for 'formal settings'.
