Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Escentric 04 EDT

A hyper-modern citrus-woody that balances zesty grapefruit and gin-like juniper with a futuristic sandalwood base. It is both luminous and quietly assertive, perfect for those who crave clean freshness with a twist.

Our Verdict - Colette EDP

A divisive scent for sure: some get ethereal lemon and pine, others get fleeting whispers of 'lemon pound cake' or 'bug spray'. Its main issue is abysmal performance; many find it disappears almost immediately. Love it? Be prepared to bathe in it. Hate it? You're probably just smelling thin air anyway.

Season and Occasion Fit

Escentric 04

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Luminous grapefruit and herbal freshness make it ideal for spring and summer, but the woody base and subtle warmth from sandalwood and resins allow for versatility in fall. Its airy nature is less suited to deep winter cold.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Moderate projection and clean, modern freshness make it office and casual friendly, while the zesty citrus and soft woods add intrigue for dates. It is a bit too characterful and idiosyncratic for highly formal or sporty settings.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its extremely light projection makes it ideal for office, casual, and even sport where stronger scents are inappropriate. It's also pleasant for dates due to its intimate nature. However, the delicate silage won't stand out in formal settings and it's too cozy for high-energy fitness.
