Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure XS Night EDP
A divisive beast of a fragrance. Some swear by its unique caramel-cacao warmth for nights out, but others find its intense sweetness and pronounced ginger-ginseng opening a bit much, veering into 'old man' territory or even 'Chinese herbal medicine'. Try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Crimson EDP
Crimson is a divisive beast: one spray too many and you'll clear a room, but for those who love a bold, spicy, sweet scent, it's a cold-weather knockout. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pure XS Night

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and sweet, heavy accords make it too much for an office setting where subtlety is key. However, its seductive warmth and good longevity are perfect for date nights and evening casual wear, as many reviews suggest it gets compliments in these contexts. It's too sweet for a formal occasion and certainly not suitable for sport.

Crimson

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Crimson's beast-mode performance and heavy sweet-spicy character make it entirely unsuitable for office wear, where it could be overpowering. It shines on cold-weather dates or casual outings when you want to make a statement, but its intensity might be too much for formal events.
