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 - Dates Delight Eau de Parfum

Dates Delight is a deeply polarising one, splitting the crowd between those who adore its grown-up gourmand richness and those who find it too harsh, cloying, or even 'old-fashioned'. If you're after a sweet, spiced, grown-up experience, it's worth a sniff, but definitely not a blind buy.

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.

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

With significant projection and longevity, this rich, sweet gourmand can be overpowering for an office environment. It shines on a date night or during formal events, offering a seductive and luxurious aura. It's too heavy for sport and some might find it a bit much for casual wear, though some reviews suggest it works well in cooler casual settings.
