Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 31 Rue Cambon Eau de Parfum

A modern take on a classic chypre, 31 Rue Cambon is pure Chanel refinement in a bottle. It's a polarizing scent, with some finding it effortlessly chic and others put off by its indolic opening or vintage feel, but fans rave about its complex elegance and beautiful drydown.

Our Verdict - Lé Prestige Empress Eau de Parfum

This one's a bit of a slow burn, but worth the wait. It might start off with a bit of a kick, but give it time to settle and you'll find a surprisingly fresh, comforting gem that punches above its weight class for the price.
