Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love Poison EDP
This is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand with an obscene price tag to match. If you're after a sophisticated, sweet, fruity treat and pocket depths to rival the Mariana Trench, then step right up. Otherwise, there are similar, more accessible options out there.

Our Verdict - Classique X-Mas Edition 2020 EDT
This Christmas Classique is a lovely, subtle twist on the original. It's an easy-wearing spiced floral that won't overwhelm, though its gentle nature might leave some wanting a bit more punch from a festive edition.

Occasions

Best For:

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its subtle sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for office wear, without being overpowering. The warm, sweet, and romantic accords are perfect for dates or casual wear, especially in cooler weather, but its understated nature might not make it shine in very formal settings.
