Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le 3e Homme de Caron Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper grower. Give Le 3e Homme some time past its initial blast and you'll find a sophisticated, unique scent that's loved by many, even if a few find it a bit too 'classic' or challenging at first.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Bergamote Soleil Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous citrus that's bright, natural, and refreshingly complex. The only catch is its notoriously short lifespan, making it a love-it-or-resent-the-reapplication-needs type of scent.
