Which Should You Buy?
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.
Xerjoff's Ouverture is a seriously divisive beast. Some rave about its unique tropical sweetness and dark complexity, while others are baffled by its woody dryness or cloying syrupiness. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
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
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.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent, long-lasting nature and rich, complex profile make it less suited for an office setting where subtlety is often key. It excels on dates and formal occasions due to its elegant, sensual dry down, and its unique character also makes it interesting for upscale casual wear. Too heavy for sport.
