Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aromatics Elixir EDP

Aromatics Elixir is an uncompromising chypre that demands attention with its assertive, herbal-mossy character and vintage sophistication. Not for the faint of heart, but unforgettable for true lovers of classic perfumery.

Our Verdict - 454 White Patchouli EDP

454 follows Tom Ford's White Patchouli - peony and coriander up top, rose and jasmine at the heart, patchouli and incense underneath. The florals read brighter but thinner than the original's creamy, smoky construction, and the patchouli fades to a faint woody musk far sooner, but the smoky-floral idea is recognisably there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Aromatics Elixir

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

The mossy, earthy, spicy chypre structure thrives in cool to temperate weather, making this ideal for fall and winter. Spring works for those who love vintage florals and boldness, but the density and lack of sweetness make it less suited for hot summer days.

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

This classic chypre's powerful sillage and complex character suit formal events and evening wear best. Its bold projection and vintage style can be polarizing in the office or casual settings.
