Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Essencial Elixir
This Brazilian gem is a darker, boozier take on CH Men Prive, delivering a smoother, more sophisticated, and frankly, better blended experience. It's a proper grown-up scent, perfect for making a statement without shouting. Top marks for luxury on a budget.

Our Verdict - Coffee Man
Don't let the name fool you - Coffee Man is less about the coffee and all about an intoxicating spicy, warm, and sophisticated blend. It's a crowd-pleaser that punches above its weight, delivering serious sensuality and a touch of something exotic. Ideal for cooler weather, it's a stellar choice for making an impression.

Season and Occasion Fit

Essencial Elixir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong sillage and prominent boozy-leather accords make it less suitable for office wear, but its elegant and warm profile is perfect for dates, evening events, and formal gatherings. The powerful projection can be invasive in close quarters, while its complex depth is wasted on casual sports.

Coffee Man

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 warm and spicy character, along with reported solid longevity and good sillage, makes it perfect for dates and evening events. It's too assertive for sport and might be a bit much for a formal office environment, but suitable for casual wear and more relaxed formal gatherings.
