Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Paris EDP
A perfectly balanced violet that's both refined and a bit aloof. Often described as elegant yet distinctly modern, Balenciaga Paris is a beloved, versatile scent that many lament has been discontinued.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.124 Qenzo EDP
Eden's No.124 tracks Kenzo Homme's signature herbal-aquatic profile closely - sage, bamboo and a salty iodine top over an iris-vetiver heart - a fair likeness of that famous soapy, earthy character, with the spiced woody base coming through softer than the original.

Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and elegant, clean profile make it ideal for office and casual wear, projecting sophistication without overwhelming. While versatile, its subtle nature might be less impactful for truly formal events or high-energy sport. Many reviewers explicitly mention it as a work-day go-to.
