Which Should You Buy?
Coriandre is a polarising, unapologetically '70s green chypre. Definitely not for the gourmand crowd, but if you're after a sophisticated, timeless scent that stands out, this affordable gem might just be your new obsession.
This is a clean-cut chypre with a divisive, almost startlingly retro opening that mellows into a surprisingly complex, modern clean scent. Some find it a bit too old-school or even unpleasant, but for those who get it, it's a unique and addictive 'luxe soap' experience.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'clean' yet sophisticated aura make it ideal for office wear, being noticeable without overwhelming. Reviewers highlight its elegance and versatility for both formal and casual settings, though its distinct chypre character means it's less suited for sporty activities.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh character makes it ideal for everyday and casual wear, even in warmer climates, as many reviewers attest. While it can be quite strong initially, it dries down to a pleasant scent suitable for office environments, though perhaps not for formal events where its prominent 'soap' accord might feel out of place.
