Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Drakkar Noir Eau de Toilette

A truly timeless, sophisticated, and underappreciated classic that often gets overshadowed by its famous flanker. Drakkar is a clean, masculine scent with an air of effortless French elegance.

Our Verdict - Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette

This one's a proper debate-starter for Diptyque; some find it a gorgeous, naturalistic orange blossom, whilst others are left with a bitter cleaning product. It's clean, fresh, and undeniably unique, but definitely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Drakkar Noir Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Winter

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal Sport

Its fresh, clean, and understated character makes it versatile for most settings, especially casual and office wear. While not overly formal, its sophisticated aura allows it to carry into more dressed-up occasions, though it leans more subtle for a date night.

Eau des Sens Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, clean nature makes it ideal for casual and sport settings, providing an invigorating feel. Whilst subtle and elegant, its distinct bitter profile and occasional 'cleaning product' association from reviews lower its suitability for formal events and intimate dates. The strength on some skin makes it less office friendly for some.
