Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Classique Eau de Toilette
Classique is an iconic, ultra-feminine bombshell - lush white florals and sweet vanilla with a powdery, sensual finish. Romantic and unmistakable, it leaves a memorable, warm trail that feels timeless yet never dull.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Fragile Eau de Parfum
This isn't 'Fragile' at all. It's a bold, spicy tuberose with serious vintage glamour, best worn when you want to make a statement. Prepare for compliments; just don't expect a delicate flower.

Season and Occasion Fit

Classique Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Classique's sweet vanilla, powdery florals, and ambery warmth shine in cool to cold weather but retain enough freshness from citrus and orange blossom to work well in spring. It can feel too heavy in the hottest months, but excels from fall through winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The bold, sensual trail and creamy sweetness make it ideal for dates and dressed-up occasions, while its classic powdery floral character gives it some versatility for casual wear. Projection and richness are less suited to the office or active settings.

Fragile Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its strong sillage and potent white floral character, Fragile is too impactful for the office or casual daywear. It truly shines for date nights and formal events, where its luxurious and attention-grabbing aroma perfectly complements a sophisticated ensemble.
