Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Private Collection Eau de Parfum

A legendary green floral from the 70s, Private Collection is a divisive scent: you'll either love its crisp, retro elegance and confident swagger, or find it a bit too sharp and 'vintage'. It’s an acquired taste for some, but a timeless masterpiece for others.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Fougere Royale Eau de Parfum

The OG fougère, reimagined for the modern gent. Fougere Royale offers timeless class and sophisticated freshness, though its understated performance might leave some wanting more. It's a crowd-pleaser that walks the line between classic elegance and contemporary wearability.

Seasons

Best For:

Also Works:

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Formal

Often described as 'professional' and lending 'confidence', its bold green floral character makes it highly suited for office and formal wear. Whilst some find it suitable for summer, its strong sillage and complex profile make it less ideal for casual outings or intimate dates where a subtler scent is often preferred.

Its clean, classic profile and moderate-to-light projection make it ideal for office wear and formal events where subtlety is key. While versatile, its sophisticated nature might feel a bit overdressed for casual sport, though many enjoy its fresh character for everyday casual wear. Performance varies, with some finding it fleeting.
