Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Lion Eau de Parfum
This one's a true beast, powerful and uncompromising. Le Lion is a masterclass in challenging elegance, it's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but if it clicks, it truly roars. Definitely not for the fainthearted; it demands a wearer who can match its gravitas.

Our Verdict - Patchouli Magique Eau de Parfum
This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it patchouli bomb that punches way above its price point. It's not a '60s hippie patch, but a sophisticated, woody, and earthy take that some find divine and others, well, a bit too much.

Its potent projection and intense amber-woody character make it too much for the office. However, its luxurious and commanding presence is perfect for formal events and an intimate, powerful statement on a date. It's too weighty for casual or sport wear.
