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.
This is a bold, velvety rose-patchouli that'll make you feel like 'that girl' - or 'that guy'. It's not a safe blind buy thanks to the prominent patchouli, but for those who love a deep, dark rose, it’s an absolute stunner and a solid example of the genre.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'clean' yet sophisticated aura make it ideal for office wear, being noticeable without overwhelming. Reviewers highlight its elegance and versatility for both formal and casual settings, though its distinct chypre character means it's less suited for sporty activities.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent rose and earthy patchouli accords, combined with strong performance reports, make it too bold for an office setting. However, its luxurious and sensual character is perfect for dates and formal events, though for casual wear it depends on the wearer's confidence.
