Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pour Monsieur Eau de Parfum

This is Chanel's nod to classic masculinity, a polished barbershop scent that’s equal parts heritage and modern refinement. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, particularly among those loyal to the original EDT, but many find it a sophisticated standout with a creamy, nuanced dry-down.

Our Verdict - S'Il Vous Play Eau de Parfum

Francesca Dell'Oro's S'Il Vous Play is a complex, evolving scent that playfully balances spice, citrus, and a warm, almost gourmand sweetness. Fair warning though, if you're not into powdery drydowns or that 'gingerbread on a tree stump' vibe, it might not be for you.

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual
