Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Byzantium Eau de Parfum

Don't let the price tag fool you; Tesori d'Oriente Byzantium is a surprisingly complex, beast-mode cheapie with a divisive but loyal following. Some find it a gourmand dream, others a powdery disaster. Blind buy with caution, but if it works for you, it's an absolute steal that punches way above its weight.

Statement

Our Verdict - Delphinus Eau de Parfum

This is a seriously polarising one. Some reckon it's a classy, modern masterpiece, a sweet and smoky head-turner. Others? A cloying, chemical mess that smells like medicinal cherry or a glorified air freshener. Definitely try before you buy, especially given that price tag.

Season and Occasion Fit

Byzantium Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its strong projection and longevity make it less ideal for office settings, as it can be quite potent. The warm, sweet, and sensual character makes it excellent for dates and cozy casual wear, especially in colder months. It's a bit too rich for formal events and completely unsuitable for sport.

Delphinus Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

While some find it good for the office, its moderate to strong projection and luxurious, sweet profile make it better suited for dates and formal events. Many reviews lean towards 'sundown scent' and 'special occasions', suggesting it's too much for casual wear, and definitely not for sport.
