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 - Infusion d'Amande Eau de Parfum

A truly gorgeous, understated almond musk that's polarising - you'll either adore its clean, subtly sweet cosiness or find it too faint and a bit 'baby wipes'. Either way, it's a comforting scent for you, and only you.

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.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its intimate sillage and clean, soft character make it ideal for office wear and casual settings where you want to smell put-together without being intrusive. Conversely, its minimal projection makes it less suitable for formal events or sports, where a more impactful scent is often desired. Many reviewers highlight its suitability as a 'bedtime scent' or for 'cozy days in'.
