Rose Alexandrie Eau de Parfum vs Eaudemoiselle de Givenchy Bois de Oud Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a fresh, elegant rose-neroli scent that's loved by many for its beauty and wearability, but absolutely slammed for its shocking longevity and projection. If you fancy a stunning but fleeting whisper, and have deep pockets, this might be your jam.
This isn't your usual Arabian oud bomb; it's oud for beginners, dressed up in French elegance. A divisive scent that some adore for its sophisticated twist on oriental notes, while others find it a little too soft or even 'mislabelled' for a true oud fanatic. Approach with an open mind and a light hand.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean floral and citrus composition makes it perfect for office, casual wear, and even sport. The extremely poor longevity and sillage mean it's too subtle for a strong impression on a date or at a formal event.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and good longevity make it suitable for evenings out or formal events where you want to make an impression without overwhelming. Reviews suggest it's too potent for easy office wear if oversprayed, but its elegant nature suits a date night perfectly. Not one for the gym.
