Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cat Deluxe
A divisive scent that evokes strong nostalgia for some and strong dislike for others. It's a playful, sweet-spicy ride - perfect for those who embrace its unique, sometimes challenging, character.
Statement
Our Verdict - Madame Gres
A divisive blend that promises French chic but delivers an opening that splits opinion. If you can ride out the initial sweetness, a sophisticated, patchouli-rich dry-down awaits.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cat Deluxe

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With its noticeable sillage and warm, spicy character, Cat Deluxe is best suited for social settings rather than the office. Reviewers often mention it as a "clubbing perfume" or for drawing compliments on dates.

Madame Gres

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sophisticated floral-woody-leather dry down makes it suitable for date nights and formal events, while its strong sillage limits its appropriateness for some office environments. The fruity opening offers enough versatility for casual wear, though its intensity might be too much for active sports.
