Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Esprit du Roi
A truly refined old-school aromatic with a contemporary twist that's divisive: some adore its classic charm, while others find it a touch dated. If you appreciate traditional colognes updated for modern sensibility, this could be your sophisticated signature, despite its fleeting nature.

Our Verdict - Night Touch
This is a budget-friendly 'blue' scent that’s a bit of a chameleon, often compared to the likes of Bleu de Chanel, Montblanc Legend, or even Invictus. It's a decent shout for the price, but don't expect a groundbreaking scent - it's a solid, versatile performer that punches above its weight in the 'cheapie' category.

Season and Occasion Fit

Esprit du Roi

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate longevity and subtle sillage make it ideal for office wear, being noticeable but not overpowering. While versatile, its classic and refined character, leaning towards a 'barbershop' style, is less suited for casual or sport settings than for more composed environments.

Night Touch

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its fresh, clean, and versatile profile makes it suitable for most casual and daytime wear, including the gym. While some find it office-friendly due to moderate sillage, the 'shower gel' vibe might be too informal for genuinely formal events.
