Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sweet Ash EDP
This woody-sweet scent is a divisive crowd-pleaser. Some find it a superior twist on the BR540 DNA, a sexy, balanced fusion of forest and vanilla. Others, however, are put off by a harsh, synthetic opening and poor longevity, labelling it 'plastic' and 'generic'. Try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Elysium Parfum
Elysium Parfum is a bold yet balanced fragrance with invigorating citrus and rich woody undertones-a modern classic for the sophisticated gentleman.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sweet Ash

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and warm, woody-sweet profile make it suitable for casual wear and dates, where its 'sexy' aura can shine. However, given its intimate projection for many, it might be too subtle for formal events and inappropriate for sport. Its unique character divides opinion, making it a risk for office settings.

Elysium

Seasons

Best For:
Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

Elysium's fresh and aromatic profile, featuring citrus and fruity notes alongside light woody accords, makes it ideal for warmer months like spring and summer, while its slightly deeper base complements the coolness of fall.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The balanced intensity and moderate projection make Elysium suitable for office and formal settings, while its more refined character is ideal for dates. It's less suited for sporty activities due to its elegant profile.
