Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Centenario Eau de Parfum

A truly divisive scent, Centenario swings between a creamy, tropical dream and an old-fashioned powdery nightmare. You'll either love its unique iris-coconut combo or find it too odd to wear.

Statement

Our Verdict - Talco Extrait

This is Talco, plain and simple. If you're after a sophisticated take on baby powder, New Notes delivers exactly that. It's polarising, with some finding it a comforting, clean dream and others dismissing it as too literal and, frankly, overpriced for what it is.

Season and Occasion Fit

Centenario Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

With its moderate sillage and unique profile, Centenario suits casual and date settings, evoking a relaxed, tropical vibe. The prominent powdery and iris notes lend it a certain elegance that could work for less formal events, but it's not a go-to for the office or strenuous activities.

Talco Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its potent longevity and sillage mean a light hand is needed, making it less ideal for enclosed office spaces or formal events. However, its clean, comforting profile makes it perfect for casual wear, especially at home, and it's even described as a 'perfect after-gym perfume' by some.
