Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bijou Romantique EDP
This is a grown-up, opulent gourmand for those who like their sweetness balanced with something a bit spiky. It's often compared to Shalimar, but most agree it's less challenging and more modern. A cozy, comforting scent for cooler weather that manages to be both luxurious and approachable.

A truly gorgeous, enveloping oriental that leans exotic and sweet. It's a rich, warm, inviting scent for those who love their gourmands with a touch of the opulent. If you're after a showstopper, this could be your new signature.

Occasions

Best For:

Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature, this warm, resinous oriental is best suited for evenings and cooler weather. It's too heavy for office wear but perfect for a romantic date or a sophisticated formal event.

Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
