Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Classique Eau de Parfum
A divisive yet undeniably iconic fragrance, Classique EDP is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent sensuality that some find alluring and others can't stomach. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you dare, it's a true statement.

Season and Occasion Fit

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
