Which Should You Buy?
J'ai Osé is a proper '70s powerhouse - a rich, complex beast that's utterly divisive. It's too dark and challenging for some, but if you love bold, vintage chypres, this is an absolute gem, even in its reformed glory.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Iris Celadon is an elegant, iris-forward fragrance that's loved for its unique, almost 'abstract' take on powdery sophistication, but some find it just a bit 'meh' or even off-putting. It’s definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you splurge.
