Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Prime

A solid, approachable fruity-oud that delivers good performance without breaking the bank. It's a reliable choice that won't surprise you, but it won't disappoint either.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Catch De Noire

This is a seriously punchy, modern take on a classic chypre. Not for the faint-hearted, it's a bold statement that demands attention and gets it, but perhaps not universally. Expect compliments, or a bit of head-scratching.

Also Works:

Its good projection and decent longevity make it a bit much for a close-quarters office, but the balanced fruity and leathery accords suit dates and cooler casual outings well. It's versatile enough for some formal wear, but not ideal for active sport.

Casual

Its bold projection and strong character make it less suitable for a discreet office environment. However, its sophisticated fruity-woody profile is perfect for making an impression on a date or at a formal event, and its modern edge works well in casual settings too.
