Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Habdan Eau de Parfum

Habdan is seriously underrated, with a loyal following who call it PDM's hidden gem. It's a complex, classy blend that might not be a blind buy for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its unique spicy-sweet personality.

Our Verdict - Mortal Skin Eau de Parfum

Mortal Skin is a seriously polarising scent: some claim it's a masterpiece, a mysterious and addictive aroma that defies categorisation, whilst others find it 'icky', 'gross', or even like 'rotten meat'. Its divisive nature, coupled with frequent complaints about weak performance, means it's not a crowd-pleaser and definitely needs a test wear.

Habdan's warm, spicy, and woody accords, combined with its strong projection and longevity, make it ideal for cooler weather and evening wear. While potent, it's considered office-safe with light sprays owing to its smooth, non-offensive character, and its refined nature makes it perfect for formal settings and dates.

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Its dark, enigmatic character and the mixed reviews on sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office or casual wear. It leans towards evenings and special occasions where its unique scent can be appreciated without being overpowering, ideal for dates or formal events if the projection isn't too strong.
