Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Premier Jour EDP
Premier Jour is a clean, understated floral that perfectly balances warmth and freshness. A crowd-pleaser that evokes happiness, some find it too bland, but most praise its elegant, quiet charm. Just don't mention the novichok.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Chinatown EDP
Chinatown is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a polarizing, unique blend of spicy florals and creamy woods that some find enchanting and others, well, say it's more 'old lady' than niche.

Season and Occasion Fit

Premier Jour

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its soft sillage and inoffensive floral character make it ideal for the office and casual wear. While it's noted as suitable for dates due to its sensual undertones, its subtlety might be lost in formal settings or during vigorous sport.

Chinatown

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and distinctive, strong white floral and oriental accords make it a bit much for the office. However, these same qualities, especially the sensual woody-spicy dry down, lend themselves perfectly to date nights and formal events. It's a bold choice, but some reviewers find it versatile enough for daily wear.
