Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Paris – Biarritz

This Chanel is a lovely, albeit fleeting, citrus and green cologne. It's a crowd-pleaser for its fresh, bright scent but be warned, it demands reapplications. Love it for its natural aroma, but many find it overpriced for its terrible longevity.

Our Verdict - Original

This is a clean, crisp 'your skin but better' fragrance, perfect for those who want to smell expensive without shouting. The price tag is a sticking point for many, but the quality of ingredients and unique blend win over its loyalists.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, light citrus and green accords and poor longevity make it perfect for casual wear, office settings, and sport where a subtle scent is preferred. For dates or formal events, its lack of projection might disappoint.

Best For:

Office Casual Formal Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its clean, fresh character and moderate sillage make it suitable for almost any casual or office setting, as it is inoffensive and discreet. While elegant enough for formal events or dates, its 'freshie' nature means it might not shine as brightly as richer scents in those contexts.
