Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Paris 1948

This one's a proper ride, a true vintage chypre with a peachy, honeyed twist that some will adore and others simply won't 'get'. If you fancy something utterly unique that whispers rather than screams, then dive in. Otherwise, prepare for a potential clash of classic and modern. Divisive but utterly charming.

Our Verdict - Lady Rose Lion (Monkey Unicorn)

This chypre is Marmite in a bottle - love it or hate it, there's no middle ground. Some find it a masterpiece of peachy-basil-rose complexity, while others recoil from what they perceive as a screechy, synthetic mess. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Paris 1948

Seasons

Best For:

Summer

Also Works:

Spring Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and 'light, airy' nature make it pleasant for everyday wear, including the office, without being overwhelming. The elegant, slightly 'old-fashioned' character also suits dates and casual outings, though it might be too subtle for very formal events. It's definitely not a gym scent.

Lady Rose Lion (Monkey Unicorn)

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Given its strong sillage and complex, sometimes divisive character, this isn't best suited for office wear, as it can be quite assertive. It leans towards more personal or adventurous occasions where its unique personality can truly shine, performing best in cooler weather according to reviews.
