Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Grey Flannel EDT

Grey Flannel is a true legend, still sparking heated debate decades on. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a divisive green-floral powerhouse for those who dare to be different. Not for the faint-hearted, nor for those who prefer their scents sweet.

Our Verdict - Victorian Posy EDP

A divisive scent that evokes strong opinions, Victorian Posy is either a charming, nostalgic nod to English gardens or a dusty, old-fashioned scrubber. It's a love-it-or-hate-it classic that demands confidence to wear, certainly not for the faint-hearted.

Season and Occasion Fit

Grey Flannel

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

Its potent projection and distinct, 'old money' floral-green character make it less suitable for casual or office wear, where it might be too strong and attention-grabbing. However, its mature, clean, and unique profile makes it excellent for formal events or a sophisticated date, particularly in cooler weather.

Victorian Posy

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date Casual

Its strong, assertive presence and classic floral-woody profile mean it might be a bit much for a conservative office environment, but it shines in formal settings. The romantic and nostalgic feel makes it suitable for intimate dates or casual, thoughtful wear, though its lack of freshness makes it unsuitable for sport.
