Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tardes

This almond-heavy scent splits opinion right down the middle - some adore its cozy, clean creaminess, others find it too synthetic or even 'bug spray'-like. Not a safe blind buy, but for those who love it, it's a unique and addictive 'lotiony' aroma.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Opaline

This limited edition is a unique, divisive scent; some find it a gorgeous, clean, lactonic dream, while others are put off by a strong 'lotion' or 'baby shampoo' vibe. If you like sophisticated, almond-heavy musks, this could be your holy grail, especially in warmer weather.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tardes

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Tardes’ soft projection and clean, slightly sweet profile make it perfect for casual wear and office environments where subtlety is key. It's not loud enough for a formal event, nor is it invigorating for sport.

Opaline

Seasons

Best For:

Winter

Also Works:

Spring Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - winter and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate sillage and 'clean' character make it suitable for casual wear and even close-quarter dates. However, its significant powdery, musky warmth might be a bit much for formal occasions or the gym.
