Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Epices Volees EDP
This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a masterpiece, a classic Guerlain spicy aromatic with a classy air. Others, though, smell cheap designer vibes or even, bizarrely, raw egg. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Concept No 18 EDP
This one is a divisive scent, some hail it as a unique, underrated gem, others find it just plain odd, with a prominent, almost overpowering star anise note that can be startling. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Epices Volees

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sophisticated spicy-woody character lends itself well to formal and date settings, conveying a mature elegance. While not overly loud, some find it too traditional or strong for everyday casual wear or the office, and it's certainly not suited for sport.

Concept No 18

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its moderate projection and distinct, somewhat unusual spicy profile make it a bit too bold for a formal setting or the gym. However, its unique character could shine for a casual outing or a date, though some find it a touch peculiar.
