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 - Bloody Smoke Extrait

Bloody Smoke is an incense experience that divides opinion, yet its unique, cold metallic opening and ancient resinous heart offer something truly compelling for those seeking a gothic and mysterious scent. A distinctive departure from the usual Pazzaglia punch, offering a more introspective journey.

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.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Given its strong, unique scent profile and moderate-to-strong projection, Bloody Smoke is better suited for evening wear or intimate settings rather than the office. Its dark, serious character lends itself well to dates and formal occasions, and it is a fascinating personal wear for casual moments.
