Which Should You Buy?
Champs Elysees is a divisive but ultimately beloved classic. Most find it a joyous, sophisticated floral that screams springtime in Paris, while a vocal minority can't stand the powdery mimosa, some even detecting an odd cat-piss note. If you're after a happy, light floral, it's a solid shout.
A divisive aldehydic floral with a devoted fanbase who adore its sweet, powdery charm, but a significant minority can't get past a very unusual opening. For those who get it, it's addictive, classy, and commands compliments.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean floral accords make it versatile, leaning towards casual and date wear but still appropriate for office given its moderate sillage. The sweet and fruity elements elevate it for romantic settings, while its brightness makes it less suitable for formal, very serious settings or sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its elegant and sophisticated character makes it a strong contender for dates and formal events. While a touch too powdery and present for an everyday office scent, its moderate projection means it won't overwhelm, making it suitable for some casual wear.
