Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Squid Eau de Parfum

Squid is a wild ride, a deeply polarising scent that you'll either adore as a masterpiece of dark, oceanic artistry or despise as an utter abomination. It's an immersive experience, not just a perfume, but definitely not one for the faint of heart.

Our Verdict - Lavande Noire Eau de Parfum

This is a gorgeous lavender and amber scent, nearly universally adored for its unique take on lavender. If only the performance lived up to the beauty, it would easily be a top shelf contender.

Season and Occasion Fit

Squid Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

Its potent projection and unique, challenging profile, often described as 'otherworldly' and 'deep sea', make it unsuitable for typical office wear. It shines in formal or date settings, particularly in the evening, where its mystery and sophistication can be appreciated without overwhelming a casual daytime environment. Some find it cosy for personal wear, but it's not a go-to casual scent for being around others.

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its subtle projection and relaxing profile make it suitable for office and casual wear, especially in cooler weather, where it's elegant without being overwhelming. The poor longevity prevents it from being a strong contender for highly formal events, and its warmth isn't suited for sport.
