Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Sparkling EDT
This perfume is a sweet, playful crowd-pleaser for those who love gourmands, but its fleeting nature is a real drawback. Prepare to reapply often, as reviews consistently highlight abysmal longevity despite the charming aroma.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Modest Deux EDP
Afenan's Modest Deux is a gourmand crowd-pleaser that delivers a potent burst of sweet, dark fruit and chocolate. It's affordable, intoxicating, and often described as a 'beast mode' performer. Just remember, Middle Eastern scents often need to macerate to truly shine - give this one time to develop its full, seductive power.

Season and Occasion Fit

de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Sparkling

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its light sillage and generally poor longevity make it suitable for close-contact settings like the office or date nights, where it won't overwhelm. The sweet, casual gourmand profile is perfect for everyday wear and surprisingly recommended by some for gym use due to its freshness, but it's generally too playful for formal events.

Modest Deux

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting, heavy gourmand character make it less suitable for office or sports. This scent truly shines for date nights and formal evenings where its seductive, rich aroma can make a statement without being overwhelming.
