Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Après l’Amour EDP
This is a truly polarising beast. Après l'Amour either blooms into a beautiful, potent aura of spiced musk and citrus or devolves into something synthetic and unwearable. Sample before committing, because if it loves you back, it will last forever.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 41 Burlington Arcade EDP
A distinctly British, gentlemanly scent. Burlington Arcade opens with a clean, peppery zest, and rounds off with a woody, sophisticated air. It's a bit of a wallflower though - charming up close, but don't expect it to shout across a room.

Season and Occasion Fit

Après l’Amour

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:
Casual

Its nuclear performance and intense sillage make it a questionable choice for the office, where subtlety often wins. However, its bold and sensual character makes it ideal for dates and evening events. For casual wear, a very light hand is needed to avoid overwhelming others.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
