Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rosendo Mateu Nº 5 Floral, Amber, Sensual Musk EDP
This one is a proper head-turner, but whether for good or bad is down to your skin chemistry and tolerance for 'burnt rubber'. It's a divisive masterpiece, so don't even think about blind buying. Test it, and if it works for you, prepare for compliments.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rosendo Mateu Nº 5 Floral, Amber, Sensual Musk

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and longevity, this isn't an office-friendly scent, but its sophisticated amber and musk make it perfect for date nights and formal events. It's too opulent for casual wear, and definitely unsuitable for sport.

Famed Path V

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the floral, musky profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
