Which Should You Buy?
This one's divisive, but if you love old-school neroli with a soapy, clean kick, Gentlewoman is an elegant, gender-neutral choice. Just don't expect groundbreaking originality; some find it a bit too reminiscent of classic eau de colognes or even, well, soap.
Le Labo's Lavande 31 is polarising; some find it a luxurious, modern interpretation of lavender, while others dismiss it as overpriced laundry detergent. It's a clean, musky scent that challenges traditional expectations of lavender, creating a love-it-or-hate-it dilemma for many.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and often subtle sillage makes it ideal for office and casual wear, akin to a fancy soap. While some find it too 'clean' for a date, its elegant simplicity isn't out of place in a relaxed formal setting, and it’s perfect for a post-sport freshen up.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its clean, inoffensive nature makes it highly suitable for the office and casual wear. The moderate sillage and lack of overt formality keep it from being a top choice for formal events, while its freshness allows for sport use.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Citrus, White Floral, Aromatic accords and Lavender, Neroli notes
