Which Should You Buy?
Coriandre is a polarising, unapologetically '70s green chypre. Definitely not for the gourmand crowd, but if you're after a sophisticated, timeless scent that stands out, this affordable gem might just be your new obsession.
A modern chypre that's a sophisticated twist on the original, Legere is a masterclass in understated elegance. Fans laud its unique balance of fresh florals and earthy depth, making it a firm crowd-pleaser that elevates any wearer. The hype is real - it's a tragedy that it's discontinued.
