Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Malbec Noir Eau de Parfum

This Malbec is a divisive one: some find it a unique, original fresh-fruity twist on the woody-wine genre, others find it boring and derivative. It's not as dark as the 'Noir' in its name suggests, making it surprisingly versatile.

Our Verdict - Still Life in Rio Eau de Parfum

This lively citrus bomb is a holiday in a bottle. It's a polarizing scent - some smell a cocktail, others lemon cleaner. If you want a fleeting, fizzy, playful summer breeze with a boozy undercurrent, this is your ticket. Just don't expect it to last.

Office

Despite its 'Noir' name, many find this fragrance fresh and versatile enough for office wear, or even daytime, due to its prominent fruity and aromatic elements. Its sensual, boozy undertones make it particularly well-suited for dates and evening casual events, though its bold character might be too strong for formal settings or sports.

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, energetic, and casual vibe makes it perfect for relaxed outdoor events and sports. While some find it office-appropriate due to its shorter projection, its boozy and tropical character places it lower for formal settings. The mixed reviews on longevity also suggest it's better for shorter, casual outings.
