Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Or Black Eau de Toilette

A brooding, vintage chypre-leather that radiates gravitas and complexity far above its budget price. Not for the faint of heart, Or Black is a moody, mossy statement piece for those who appreciate the old school.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Fate Woman Eau de Parfum

A divisive, take-no-prisoners chypre oriental that some declare a masterpiece and others a scrubber. Fans describe it as opulent, rich, and sexy; detractors find it overwhelmingly spicy, medicinal, or even fecal. Love it or hate it, Fate Woman is never boring.

Season and Occasion Fit

Or Black Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Or Black's resinous, leathery and mossy character is ideal for cooler weather, making it excel in fall and winter. Its aromatic and spicy nuances also make it suitable for brisk spring days, but it can feel heavy for the heat of summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

With moderate projection and a bold, complex profile, Or Black stands out for casual and evening wear, and works for confident date nights or formal events. Its vintage fougere-leather aura is too intense for sports or light situations, but can fit in a refined office setting with discretion.

Fate Woman Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its 'crazy loud' longevity and 'insane sillage', Fate Woman is far too strong for the office or casual wear. Its opulent and elegant character makes it ideal for formal events and dates, where its bold presence can shine without overwhelming.
