Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Classique Eau de Parfum
A divisive yet undeniably iconic fragrance, Classique EDP is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent sensuality that some find alluring and others can't stomach. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you dare, it's a true statement.

Our Verdict - Lilac Love Eau de Parfum
Lilac Love is a divisive, opinionated floral gourmand that splits the room: some find it a unique, powdery dream of lilac and cocoa, while others are put off by its 'old lady' vibe and synthetic sweetness. Not a safe blind buy, but a must-try for purple floral fanatics.

Season and Occasion Fit

Classique Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and rich, warm, and sweet character make it less suitable for office wear. However, these same qualities, particularly the boozy rum and seductive vanilla, make it an exceptional choice for dates and formal evening events.

Lilac Love Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

With its moderate to strong projection and lasting power, Lilac Love is well-suited for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for the office. Its cozy warmth makes it great for casual wear in cooler weather, but it's far too heavy for sport.
