Which Should You Buy?
Mon Rouge by Yves Rocher is as divisive as they come. Half the crowd finds it a sophisticated, strong patchouli-plum combo for cooler weather, while the other half can't stand its synthetic, heavy sweetness. Clearly not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.
Mon Cheri is a divisive masterpiece: people either adore its gothic glamour or recoil from its intense, earthy patchouli. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who appreciate its dark, powdery depths find it utterly intoxicating.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent patchouli and strong sillage make it a bit much for the office. However, its warming, sensual character with plum and blackcurrant notes make it quite suitable for evenings out, casual wear, or even special occasions, especially in cooler weather.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong performance, rich accords, and 'gothic' nature, Mon Cheri is best suited for evening wear, especially dates or formal events where it can make a statement without overwhelming a confined space. It's too heavy for office or sport, and its distinct character doesn't quite fit casual daytime activities.
