Which Should You Buy?
French Affair is a divisive beast: a modern chypre that’s either a masterpiece of sophisticated, earthy allure or a musty old house, depending on who you ask. Brace yourself for compliments, or complaints.
If you're after a softer, greener take on Dior Sauvage that won't totally empty your wallet, Turn 1 by F1 Parfums is worth a sniff. For those who find Sauvage too loud, this offers a more subdued, yet still familiar, vibe. It's a crowd-pleaser that won't break new ground, but it's a solid everyday choice.
