Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - III Eau de Parfum

Givenchy III is a true masterpiece from the 70s, a sophisticated green chypre that's adored by many for its timeless elegance, though some find its vintage character challenging. A classic for those who appreciate old-school refinement, but be warned, modern palates might need an adjustment.

Our Verdict - Victorian Posy Eau de Parfum

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.

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date Casual
