Which Should You Buy?
This one's a damn shame it got discontinued, because Men Privée is a leather-forward, boozy powerhouse. If you can get your hands on an older batch, you're in for a treat; just be warned that newer versions might not pack the same punch.
A solid, versatile lavender for twenty quid, this is an undeniable crowd-pleaser that punches well above its weight. Don't let the marketing put you off; Karine Dubreuil-Sereni delivers.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong boozy and leather accords, coupled with a generally good projection (for older batches at least), make it too intense for the office. However, it's perfect for date nights, evenings out, and formal events where its alluring, confident presence can truly shine. Some found it suitable for casual wear as well, hinting at a certain versatility despite its intensity.
Seasons
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh, clean profile with woody undertones make it highly suitable for daily wear, especially in an office setting. The community consistently notes its versatility for most situations, though its casual brightness makes it less ideal for formal events.
