Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Homme Eau de Toilette
An unmistakable, retro power scent that polarises with its nuclear longevity and syrupy, spicy vanilla blast. It's a nostalgic, brazen classic that commands attention and divides opinion.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Play It Sexy Eau de Parfum
A divisive scent, many find it a surprisingly good, affordable dupe for pricier designer perfumes, but a vocal minority find it cheap-smelling and headache-inducing. Best suited for those seeking a playful, spicy vanilla fix on a budget, especially younger wearers.

Season and Occasion Fit

Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its high projection and strong sweet profile make it too much for the office or sport, but it fits bold casual wear and nightlife. It's polarising as a date scent, memorable but not subtle.
