Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Prîde

A solid dupe that captures the essence of Idole, particularly in the drydown, but some might miss the original's brighter, more bitter opening. Expect lingering soft rose and pear that performs well for its price.

Our Verdict - Back To Paris

This one's a divisive drop, splitting opinions between exquisite and utterly awful. Some find it a richly complex, unusual floral woody musk, while others reckon it's a cheap, synthetic mess. Definitely not a blind buy.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Given its moderate sillage and clean, floral-musky profile, Prîde is perfectly suited for everyday wear, including the office. While versatile enough for a casual date, its softer projection means it won't overwhelm in formal settings.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its powdery, woody, and floral accords suggest a more refined scent, better suited for dates or formal events rather than casual wear or sport. While some reviews mention it stays close to the skin, others describe it as 'too loud' and 'in your face', making it a risky choice for a confined office environment.
