Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'orpheline EDP
This one's a divisive brew; some hail it as an ethereal, melancholic masterpiece, while others can't shake off the scent of shaving cream. If you're into understated gothic vibes and don't mind smelling a bit like a haunted cathedral, it's a winner. Otherwise, sample first, obviously.
Favourite
Our Verdict - New Look EDP
This one is as divisive as they come - you'll either adore its futuristic, clean, and cool vibe or find it utterly repellent, like a metallic punch to the nose. Not one for the faint-hearted, nor for a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

L'orpheline

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its intimate sillage and clean, non-obtrusive accords make it suitable for office and casual wear. It's too understated and contemplative for formal events, and certainly not for sport.

New Look

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Also Works:
Formal

Its sharp, aldehydic opening can be overwhelming for close quarters like the office, and it's far too avant-garde for a relaxed date. However, its sophisticated and clean nature makes it a compelling choice for formal events where you want to stand out, though some will find it too 'cold' for such an occasion.
