Which Should You Buy?
This one's a true classic, an approachable Serge Lutens that showcases cinnamon in its purest, warmest form. It's a crowd-pleaser that evokes strong feelings of cosy nostalgia, though some find its linearity a bit much. A real shame it's so hard to find now.
Chic is a crowd-pleasing, understated gem. It's not a beast, nor is it revolutionary, but this fresh, spicy woody scent is genuinely pleasant and remarkably versatile. A safe blind buy for an everyday grab that just smells, well, chic.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm spicy and amber accords make it ideal for dates and casual wear, providing a comforting yet alluring presence. While long-lasting, the moderate sillage keeps it from being overwhelming for more formal settings, though its distinct cinnamon profile might still draw attention in the office.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Chic's moderate performance and unobtrusive, fresh-spicy profile make it perfect for office, casual outings, and even dates. While reviews mention its elegance, it lacks the boldness typically desired for formal events.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Citrus, Woody accords and Cedar, Amber notes
