Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hyde
This is a polarising beast of a scent, a true love-it-or-hate-it creation. It's a challenging, unapologetically smoky, tarry leather fragrance that's not for the faint of heart, but utterly intoxicating for those who dare. Expect to be noticed, good or bad.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Memory Motel
This is polarising perfection: a sophisticated, dusty snapshot of smoky, spiced Havana nights versus a dingy, stale motel room. Some find it comforting and unique, others find it utterly repulsive. Dive in if you're brave enough for a scent that oozes character but won't be universally loved.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hyde

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Given its enormous longevity and projection, Hyde is far too potent for the office. It's best suited for cooler weather and casual or date settings where its unique intensity can be appreciated without overwhelming a crowd.

Memory Motel

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold tobacco and warm spicy accords, while elegant, can be quite assertive, making it less suitable for office environments. The intriguing and sensual notes, however, are perfect for dates and evening events, creating a memorable aura.
