Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Virtue EDP
This one's a bit of a slow burn, but give it time. Virtue starts a touch rough around the edges, but quickly settles into a long-lasting, sophisticated oud-rose profile that's definitely a head-turner.
Acquired

Season and Occasion Fit

Virtue

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage mean Virtue fills a room, making it less suitable for office environments. However, these same traits, combined with its luxurious amber-oud character, make it a superb choice for evening dates and formal events.

Gold II Sahara

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Rich resinous and floral notes make it ideal for cooler seasons like fall and winter, yet it can transition into spring with its floral facets.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

The luxurious and complex scent profile suits evening dates and formal occasions, while projection keeps it moderate for some office settings.
