Which Should You Buy?
This unexpected gem, an affordable celebrity scent, frequently draws comparisons to far more expensive fragrances. Whilst some find the opening messy, the consensus is that the dry down is a seductive, unisex woody-amber that punches well above its weight. Ignore the occasionally divisive marketing; the scent itself is a winner.
This is a proper niche oud for those who know their way around an incense censer. Not for the faint of heart or those who like a crowd-pleaser; Tempest starts uniquely and just gets more intense. Expect some love-it-or-hate-it reactions.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its warm, woody and amber accords, Devil's Advocate is ideal for date nights or formal events where an intimate, seductive scent is desired. While it performs reasonably well, its rich character makes it less suitable for the office or active wear, but some users appreciate its versatility for casual day-to-day wear, especially in cooler weather.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its bold and polarising oud accord, combined with potentially powerful projection, makes it unsuitable for office wear. However, its unique and sophisticated character is well-suited for daring date nights or formal events where you want to make a statement.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Citrus, Amber accords and Sandalwood, Patchouli notes
