Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Roses & Chocolate EDP
This one sparks debate. Roses & Chocolate is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand with an intensely realistic, sometimes synthetic-leaning, chocolate and rose combo. It’s got beast-mode projection, so definitely sample before you commit to a full bottle.

Our Verdict - Soie Malaquais EDP
This one is a divisive delight, drawing adoration for its unique, silken charm, yet some can't get past what they see as a synthetic, shampoo-like quality or steep price. If you want a smooth, fruity-nutty rose with an elusive 'silk' accord, and don't mind a softer projection, this could be your next obsession.

Roses & Chocolate

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Given its potent sillage and longevity, this is best suited for evenings and dates where its bold, sweet character can shine without overwhelming those around you. It's too strong and distinctive for most office environments, but can work casually in moderation, particularly in cooler weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
