Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - By Night Eau de Parfum

This celeb cheapie polarises the room: some find it a delightful, budget-friendly 'Hypnotic Poison but better' for grown-up goth girls, others a synthetic mess. Expect a fruity, vanillic charm that doesn't overstay its welcome.

Statement

Our Verdict - Le Roy Soleil Eau de Parfum

A truly opulent and complex blast from the past, Le Roy Soleil is a tropical fruit cocktail blended with warm spices and deep woods. It's a polarizing scent - some find it a masterful work of art, others a slightly obnoxious relic of the 90s, but few deny its unique character and potent sillage. A confident choice for those who dare to stand out.

Season and Occasion Fit

By Night Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its sweet and warm nature, often described as sexy and inviting, makes it perfect for dates and evening casual wear. However, its perceived moderate sillage and poor longevity mean frequent reapplication, making it less ideal for office or formal events where subtlety and endurance are key.

Le Roy Soleil Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Spring Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent projection and unique, complex blend of fruits and spices make it a bit much for the office. However, it's a stellar choice for dates and formal events, where its luxurious warmth and 'boozy' fruity character can truly shine without overpowering. It can be worn casually too, but leans towards statement rather than everyday comfort.
