Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Champs Elysees Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - 8th Avenue Eau de Parfum

A budget-friendly tribute to Guerlain Champs-Elysees, 8th Avenue serves up the same powdery mimosa and almond-blossom register at a fraction of the price. Sunny, soft, and unmistakably feminine - daytime floral wear for the wearer who knows the original by heart.

Champs Elysees Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

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.

8th Avenue Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer

Powdery mimosa and almond blossom anchor it firmly in spring, with mild summer crossover on warmer days. The lack of resinous warmth or heavy gourmand sweetness keeps it off the winter shelf.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Intimate sillage and a soft, ladylike floral register fit casual wear and office days well; daytime dates work in spring weather. Lacks the projection and gravitas for formal evenings or sport.
