Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 4 Eau de Parfum

This 90s powerhouse is a fascinating blend of opulence and restraint. It's a scent for the bold, confident woman who isn't afraid to make an entrance, though some find it a bit too vintage for everyday wear. Love it or hate it, No. 4 demands attention.

Our Verdict - Shanghai 1930 Extrait

This one's a divisive floral beast - you'll either swoon over its potent white florals and tea or find it a sugary, overwhelming mess. Not for the timid, but if you want to make a statement, this has the projection to do it.

Season and Occasion Fit

No. 4 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and rich, complex profile, No. 4 is best suited for formal events and dates, where its presence can truly shine. It's generally too intense for an office setting and much too overstated for casual wear or sport.

Autumn

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

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its powerful projection and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, potentially overwhelming close quarters. However, its bold and luxurious floral character, often described as 'captivating' and 'unique', is perfect for making an impression on a date or at a formal event.
