Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Esprit d’Oscar Eau de Parfum

A divisive take on a classic, Esprit d'Oscar is either your gorgeously comforting, powdery-iris dream or a dated nightmare. Test first unless you're a devotee of vintage-leaning florals.

Statement

Our Verdict - Paris – Venise Eau de Parfum

This Chanel is elegance personified, a 'quiet luxury' scent that whispers rather than shouts. Critics moan about its fleeting nature, but devotees are happy to re-spray this delicate, effortless blend of fresh citrus and powdery florals time and again.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Winter

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Office Date

Its moderate sillage and clean, comforting character make it suitable for daily wear, especially in an office or casual setting where it won't overwhelm. While elegant, it's generally considered too soft and 'snuggly' for formal events or energetic activities.

Paris – Venise Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its clean, inoffensive, and soft projection makes it ideal for office and casual wear. While it has an undeniable elegance suitable for formal events, its intimate nature prevents it from making a grand statement, and its delicate composition isn't well-suited for sport.
