Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Classique Eau de Toilette

Classique is an iconic, ultra-feminine bombshell - lush white florals and sweet vanilla with a powdery, sensual finish. Romantic and unmistakable, it leaves a memorable, warm trail that feels timeless yet never dull.

Our Verdict - Butterfly Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Butterfly is a bold and divisive scent, with some finding it a unique milky tuberose dream and others getting hit with an unexpected pickle jar. Definitely not a blind buy unless you fancy a surprise.

Season and Occasion Fit

Classique Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Classique's sweet vanilla, powdery florals, and ambery warmth shine in cool to cold weather but retain enough freshness from citrus and orange blossom to work well in spring. It can feel too heavy in the hottest months, but excels from fall through winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

The bold, sensual trail and creamy sweetness make it ideal for dates and dressed-up occasions, while its classic powdery floral character gives it some versatility for casual wear. Projection and richness are less suited to the office or active settings.

Butterfly Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its soft sillage and creamy dry-down make it suitable for close-quarters like dates, though its unique character might be a bit much for some offices. It's too subdued and elegant for sport, but its 'quiet luxury' feel works for casual and some formal settings.
