Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Antidote Eau de Parfum

This discontinued gem divides opinion yet commands cult status for its unique, multi-layered complexity. Antidote is either an intoxicating masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, but rarely anything in between. Track it down for a sniff, if you dare.

Our Verdict - Rose de Taif Extrait Extrait

This is a seriously potent rose scent, and it's not for the faint of heart. If you're after a beast-mode, authentic rose, you've found it - but for some, the sheer intensity veers into 'old lady' territory. Definitely try before you buy, as skin chemistry can make or break the experience here.

Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its immense projection and longevity make it unsuitable for an office setting, where it would overwhelm. However, its rich and luxurious character, paired with its 'beast mode' performance, makes it a commanding presence for formal events and an unforgettable choice for a date night, if applied sparingly.
