Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pour Un Homme de Caron EDP
This isn't just a classic, it's a piece of perfumery history. While some find its subtle, powdery lavender comforting and timeless, others declare it an overly simple, dated relic with abysmal performance. You'll either get it, or you won't. And if you do, you'll love it.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Unforgivable Black EDP
Unforgivable Black is a boozy, citrus-heavy fragrance that swings between a freshie and a heavy night scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans praising its potency and boozy uniqueness, while others find it too intense or uninspired. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Pour Un Homme de Caron

Seasons

Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its subtle sillage and calming, clean aroma make it ideal for office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. The elegant fougere structure lends itself to relaxed date nights, while its minimal projection means it's less suited for loud formal events or vigorous activity.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
