Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dirty English Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous, classic woody-leather scent, but don't bother with anything but vintage bottles. Newer formulations are watery disappointments, a shadow of their former glory, with atrocious performance that truly lets the side down.
Statement
Our Verdict - Impact Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper crowd-pleaser, delivering a fresh, woody hit that most will enjoy. Sure, some find it a touch synthetic and common, but it nails modern versatility at a great price point.

Season and Occasion Fit

Dirty English Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

While the scent profile leans towards versatile, poor performance in current formulations means it's best for close encounters like dates or casual evening wear. It's too intimate for formal events and utterly unsuitable for sport.

Impact Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Impact works well across casual and office settings thanks to its fresh, woody profile, which is widely appealing without being too obtrusive. While many note decent performance, it's generally seen as a versatile everyday scent rather than something for highly formal events or intense sport.
