Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Legion EDP
Legion by French Avenue masterfully balances fresh spices and warm woods, crafting a scent both invigorating and sophisticated for varied occasions.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Carios Extrait
Carios is a deeply divisive release. While some find its fresh, sweet, and spicy profile intoxicating and groundbreaking, others condemn it as overpriced, unoriginal, and even 'revolting'. The consensus is that it's a 'love it or hate it' from PdM, though its exorbitant price tag often tips the scales towards exasperation.

Season and Occasion Fit

Legion

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

The prominent spicy and woody nuances are ideal for both cool spring and autumn months. Its warmth isn't suited for the heat of summer but has some appeal in winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

With moderate projection and a balanced spicy character, it offers a professional edge for offices, yet remains alluring for casual and date settings. Less suited for highly formal or sporty environments due to its moderate intensity.

Carios

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its balanced fresh and spicy character makes it versatile for most occasions, with moderate projection perfectly suited for close-quarters like dates or the office. However, some find it too sweet or present for highly formal events, and certainly not for active sport.
