Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - In Black Eau de Parfum
This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a smoky, boozy, black cherry dream; for others, a cloying, synthetic headache in a bottle. Blind buy at your peril - this dark beauty demands a test sniff.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Dazzle Eau de Parfum
A divisive cherry bomb that some adore for its sparkling, juicy sweetness, while others recoil from what they perceive as cloying, synthetic cough syrup. If you like your cherries fizzy and sweet, this budget-friendly scent could be your new obsession.

Season and Occasion Fit

In Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and unique, dark sweetness make In Black less suitable for polite office wear, but perfect for dates where you want to make a statement. The rich, almost boozy, and often polarising character isn't ideal for casual daytime use or sport, but could work for formal evening events.

Dazzle Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Given its sweet, bubbly, and often described as 'girly' profile, Dazzle is best suited for casual day-to-day wear and fun, flirty date nights. Its potent sweetness and sometimes strong projection make it less ideal for formal events or professional office settings, though some report good longevity and moderate sillage, making it suitable for discreet application at work.
