Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - B683 Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive genius. Some call it an avant-garde masterpiece, a 'knowing smirk in liquid form' blurring the lines between fresh and spicy, while others find its unique metallic edge 'uninviting' or even 'unremarkable'. Performance is the real elephant in the room though, with many declaring it tragically fleeting.

Our Verdict - Penguin Eau de Parfum

Prepare for extreme polarising views; this either nails the 'cold' brief in an artistic, captivating way, or it's just a strange, synthetic mess. It's a challenging wear for many, but if you're seeking true niche artistry, this could be your new obsession.

Season and Occasion Fit

B683 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its clean, sophisticated profile makes it ideal for office and formal wear, as many users attested to finding it professional and understated. While the spice and amber hint at date night appropriateness, some noted its lacklustre longevity, limiting its impact for longer social events. It's generally too refined for casual or sport settings.

Penguin Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Winter

Also Works:

Summer

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

Occasions

Also Works:

Date Casual

Its potent 'ice' opening and pronounced musky-ozonic character make it a bit much for a conservative office. However, its uniqueness and intriguing scent profile can be quite captivating for a date, offering a sophisticated edge. Though many find it wearable, its artistic, polar theme makes it less of an everyday casual reach.
