Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Si Eau de Toilette

This EDT flanker is a divisive one, splitting opinion between those who find it a lighter, fresher take on the original, and those who feel it loses the EDP's magic, becoming generic. It's discontinued now, much to the chagrin of its ardent fans.

Our Verdict - Ophidian Black Cherry Eau de Parfum

A truly divisive cherry, this one. Some rave about its dark, seductive depth; others find it a weak, synthetic disappointment. Performance is a mixed bag, but if you're after a boozy, woody cherry that leans mysterious, it might just be your next obsession.

Season and Occasion Fit

Si Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its lighter nature and moderate strength make it suitable for office wear and casual outings without being overwhelming. While it can be worn on dates, some find it lacks the gravitas for formal events, preferring a bolder scent.

Ophidian Black Cherry Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

This fragrance isn't quite right for the office, as its strong, dark, and sensual character is better suited for evening wear. It shines on a date or formal event, where its luxurious and mysterious vibe can truly stand out, but is a bit too heavy for casual daytime use or sport.
