Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Origami
This is a divisive one. Many see it as a cheap, near-perfect dupe for a high-end fragrance, while others decry its initial harshness and poor longevity. If you're patient enough for maceration, you might just find a rich, dark floral gem, but prepare for a potent opening. Not a safe blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Vigour
Vigour is a proper powerhouse, a bold men's Oriental Floral that doesn't mess about. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, divisive for its sheer strength and complex blend. Not for the faint-hearted, but if you want to make an entrance, this is your weapon.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black Origami

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent initial projection and rich, dark accords make it unsuitable for everyday office wear, and definitely not for sport. It perfectly suits date nights and formal events due to its sensual and sophisticated character, though some find it a bit too heavy for casual daytime wear.

Vigour

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and intense warm, spicy, and woody accords make it quite unsuitable for an office environment, as it could easily overwhelm. However, its sophisticated and sensual nature is perfect for date nights or formal events where you want to make a statement.
