Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Youth-Dew Eau de Parfum

Divisive and unapologetically bold, Youth-Dew is a spiced, aldehydic powerhouse. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, refusing to blend in with modern trends. If you're after a statement, this beast has your name on it.

Our Verdict - Duran Duran Black Moonlight Parfum

This one's a proper dark horse, deeply polarising but adored by its fans. A complex, shadowy amber with lashings of spice and a powdery, inky undertone that's definitely not for everyone. Blind buy at your peril, but if it clicks, you'll be hooked.

Best For:

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Youth-Dew is a beast-mode perfume with huge projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting where it could overpower others. However, its sophisticated, rich, and warm spicy character makes it perfect for formal events, date nights, and special occasions, especially in colder weather. Many reviewers highlight its 'evening' and 'winter' qualities, advising minimal application even then.

Date Formal

Its strong projection and dark, sensual profile make it less suitable for office wear but perfect for dates and evening formal events. Reviewers often mention its suitability for 'dark clubs' and 'upscale evening events' in cooler weather.
