Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois d'Armenie EDP
A truly gorgeous, refined benzoin-incense masterpiece that Guerlain inexplicably chopped. Bois d'Armenie is a sophisticated, comforting scent that everyone seems to be scrambling to get their hands on before it's gone for good.
Favourite
Our Verdict - M EDT
A divisive cheapie with a beautiful scent profile that suffers from utterly horrendous performance. If you want something that lasts longer than a quick shower, look elsewhere, but for a post-gym spritz, it's a decent shout.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bois d'Armenie

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its refined and warm character makes it ideal for dates and formal events, creating an elegant impression. While its projection is generally subtle to average, it's suitable for office wear, but less so for casual daytime activities or anything sporty due to its rich, resinous profile.

M

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its poor longevity and sillage make it suitable for casual wear or sports, where a subtle skin scent is more appropriate. The clean, fresh accords would be suitable for the office, but it simply won't last a full workday.
