Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dolce di Giorno

This one's a mixed bag. Some revel in its spiced plum glory and creamy woods, others find it too medicinal or reminiscent of glorified soap. Definitely a polarising scent, so sample before you commit.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Black Amber

This one's a gentle charmer, starting sweet and settling into a warm, woody embrace. It's not a beast, but it sticks around with a cosy presence.

Dolce di Giorno

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong projection and warm, spicy-woody character make it less suitable for a quiet office environment. However, its complex and sensual nature shines on dates and formal occasions, with enough versatility for a sophisticated casual outing.

Black Amber

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate projection and warm, inviting character make it suitable for close encounters like dates or casual outings. While not overpowering, the amber and woody accords might be a bit too intimate for formal settings, and it definitely isn't one for the gym.
