Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Innuendo EDP
Skip the suggestive name, this is a refined, classic floral with a modern twist. It's a love-it or hate-it kind of scent thanks to its vintage leanings and prominent ylang-ylang, but those who love it, really love it. Just a shame it's a bit pricey, and for some, pungent.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Reference EDP
Reference chases Roja Dove's luxurious Innuendo - the sunny citrus-and-ylang opening settling into a warm orris, sandalwood and musk base. The budget version captures the floral-woody shape but loses the original's exquisite clarity, reading flatter and less refined with shorter sillage.

Season and Occasion Fit

Innuendo

Best For:
Date Formal

Office Casual

Its potent projection and elegant, almost formal character make it suitable for occasions where you want to make an impression, like date nights or formal events. While some find its freshness great for hot weather, the intensity means a lighter hand is needed for office wear, and it's definitely not for the gym.
