Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ode au Reve EDP
This discontinued gem is a creamy, dreamy, sandalwood-dominant powder puff that’s garnered a fervent following. It's universally praised for its comforting, almost meditative quality, though some find it a bit too simple.
Statement
Our Verdict - Gaultier² EDP
Seriously divisive. Some say it's a spot-on recreation of a beloved classic, others are fuming about the changes. If you cherish the original, sample with extreme caution before buying this one. If you're new to it, expect a pleasant, warm, and comforting scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ode au Reve

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

With its soft sillage and moderate longevity of around 4 hours, this scent is suitable for casual wear or as a comforting bedtime fragrance. While it's too intimate for formal events and certainly not for sport, its gentle woody-musky character makes it agreeable for office environments and subtle enough for a quiet date.

Gaultier²

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its warm, sensual nature makes it ideal for dates and comfortable casual wear. While some find it subtle enough for office, the amber and powdery accords can be a bit much for professional settings. It's definitely not a sport scent.
