Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a curveball from Serge Lutens. While some find it a delightful, clean fruity-floral akin to luxury shampoo, others are underwhelmed by its lack of Lutens' signature complexity. It's a crowd-pleaser for some, forgettable for others.
This is a divisive one. Many find it a stunning, high-quality white floral that's a perfect bridal scent, but others are put off by a 'soapy' or 'old-fashioned' quality, some even detecting a 'dog' or 'old wool blanket' scent in the dry down. A definite try-before-you-buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick. The bright mandarin-and-osmanthus opening, juicy fruity-floral heart, and airy musk drydown read best in spring and summer, while the soft, transparent body has too little warmth to carry the cold months.
Occasions
Its clean, transparent fruity-floral profile and soft projection make it an easy office and casual daytime wear, unlikely to offend in close quarters. The luxury-shampoo quality is pretty but lightweight for formal evenings, and the soft sillage lacks the freshness a sport scent wants.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and summer pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and significant longevity make it suitable for a date or formal event without being overpowering. While some find it too potent for the office, its elegance suggests it could work in a professional setting if applied lightly. It's too opulent for active sports.
