Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Beat
This EDT is a fresh, clean, and utterly inoffensive crowd-pleaser, perfect for those who found its EDP counterpart too intense. Its main drawback is its weak longevity, leading to widespread disappointment among fans who wished this beautiful scent lingered longer.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Classic Collection Numero Uno
This one's a bit of a chameleon, with some finding it 'nothing unique' while others reckon it's brilliant and 'second bottle worthy'. If you're after a warm, sophisticated scent and can handle a cumin kick-off, this could be your winter gem. Just be prepared for a strong opening.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Beat

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive character, coupled with weak longevity, makes it highly suitable for office wear and casual daytime activities. However, the lack of strong projection makes it less ideal for dates or formal events where a more impactful presence might be desired.

Classic Collection Numero Uno

Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and strong projection, especially with its initial spice, make it a bit much for the office. However, the sophisticated amber-woody character is perfectly suited for cooler weather, formal events, and intimate date nights.
