Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Carlisle

A regal, intoxicating blend of spiced apple and creamy vanilla swirled with dark patchouli. Carlisle is a statement scent for those who want to be noticed and enveloped in plush sophistication.

Our Verdict - Vicious Cacao

Vicious Cacao is a divisive one. Some smell an intoxicating, sophisticated gourmand that demands compliments, while others get a weak, synthetic mess that vanishes before you've even properly settled into it. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Carlisle

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Carlisle's rich vanilla, patchouli, and spicy gourmand notes shine in cool to cold weather, making it ideal for fall and winter. The heavy, opulent composition can be cloying in high heat but feels comforting and enveloping in spring evenings.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Carlisle projects strongly and delivers a luxurious, seductive presence, best suited for evening dates and formal events. Its intensity may overwhelm in close office environments or gym settings.

Vicious Cacao

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

This perfume is best suited for colder weather evenings or intimate settings due to its gourmand nature and the rum accord. While some find its performance strong enough for a general casual occasion, many report it being a skin scent, making it less ideal for formal events or the office where a more universally appealing and less cloying scent profile is preferred.
