Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Caden EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Pharaoh EDT
Pharaoh is a deeply polarising fragrance - you’ll either adore its smoky, leathery depths or recoil from its intensity. If you like your scents bombastic and unapologetically bold, this could be your new signature, but it's certainly not for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit

Caden

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its smoky, leathery, and boozy accords, make it unsuitable for office wear. It truly shines on a date or for formal evening events, where its luxurious warmth and mysterious undertones can be appreciated without overwhelming a casual setting.

Pharaoh

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its enormous longevity and sillage, Pharaoh is far too assertive for office wear, potentially overwhelming colleagues. It's perfectly suited for dates and formal events where its powerful, sophisticated warmth can truly shine, yet it's generally too intense for casual daytime use or any sporting activities.
