Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Bouquet Absolu EDP

This "absolu" bouquet is a beautifully fresh, floral fantasy from Givenchy that sadly flew under the radar and, for many, became an 'unobtainable love'. It's all about natural florals with a playful strawberry twist, making it a radiant, albeit fleeting, companion.

Our Verdict - Mod Noir EDP

This one's a mixed bag. Some absolutely adore its fresh, green gardenia, raving about its bright simplicity. Others find it bland, generic, and not at all living up to the 'Noir' in its name. If you're after a polite, dewy white floral, give it a sniff - but don’t expect anything revolutionary.

Le Bouquet Absolu

Seasons

Best For:

Also Works:

Summer

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its fresh, delicate floral and fruity accords make it highly suitable for office, casual outings, and daytime dates, ensuring it is inoffensive and pleasant. The moderate longevity and soft sillage, as noted by many, mean it won't overpower, though it may require reapplication for longer events.

Mod Noir

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh and clean profile, combined with generally moderate projection and longevity, makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear. While some find it sophisticated enough for an evening out, it lacks the boldness or depth typically associated with formal occasions or true 'date night' fragrances. It's a bit too 'polite' for a high score in the date category.
