Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ex'cla-ma'tion EDC
This 80s icon is a polarising scent, loved fiercely by some for its peachy, powdery comfort and reviled by others as a chemical mess. It's a cheap and cheerful nostalgia trip for many, but definitely not a safe blind buy today.
Statement
Our Verdict - L'Interdit Parfum
A truly iconic fragrance, L'Interdit is a nuanced, powdery floral that transcends its vintage roots. It's a divisive scent; some find it a dated aldehyde bomb, others a soft, sophisticated masterpiece. There's no middle ground here, so dab with caution.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ex'cla-ma'tion

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and generally soft nature make it suitable for casual wear and even the office, despite some finding it a bit too strong. The sweet, powdery-fruity profile isn't typically suited for formal events or sports, though some find it a comforting bedtime scent.

L'Interdit

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a full-bodied, long-lasting scent, making it less suitable for office environments where subtlety is key. Its elegant and sophisticated character, driven by rich florals and a warm base, makes it perfect for formal events and intimate dates.
