Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois des Iles Eau de Parfum

Bois des Iles EDP is a masterpiece for a reason - a creamy, luxurious sandalwood classic that some find elusive or 'old-fashioned', but plenty more describe as pure olfactory bliss.

Our Verdict - Ciara Eau de Parfum

Ciara is a divisive, full-bodied throwback capturing the wild, untamed spirit of the 70s. It's a statement piece, unashamedly vintage, and certainly not for everyone, but if you're prepared for its powerhouse embrace, it offers remarkable depth for its price.

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its elegant and refined profile makes it ideal for formal events and dates, lending a luxurious touch without being overpowering. While some find it office-safe due to its polite projection, the richness of the base accords leans it towards more special occasions. It is far too sophisticated for casual or sport wear.

Also Works:

Casual

Ciara is a beast with incredible sillage and longevity, making it far too overpowering for an office setting. It shines in cooler weather, perfect for intimate date nights or casual outings where its warm, resinous character can be appreciated. While too informal for strict formal events, its unique character could suit a relaxed, bohemian formal gathering.
