Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Frustration Eau de Parfum
État Libre d'Orange Frustration genuinely lives up to its name, proving to be a polarising blend. While some find it a cosy, deeply satisfying gourmand with an addictive nutty vanilla, others are utterly repelled by its intensity, likening it to rancid butter, peanut butter, or even burning tyres. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so definitely sample.
Statement
Our Verdict - Caden Eau de Parfum
Divisive, overhyped, and a magnet for debate - but if you're not bothered by the 'Babycat clone' discourse and appreciate a robust, smoky vanilla-suede, this is a banger. Not for the faint-hearted or those who avoid strong saffron and leather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
