Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Accordes EDP
This one's a divisive classic, with plenty of folks loving its 'effortless sexy' vibe and others finding it a 'nightmare in perfume form'. Not a safe blind buy, but if it clicks, it really clicks.

Our Verdict - Imperial Tea EDP
A hyperrealistic jasmine tea that's got everyone chatting, Kilian Imperial Tea is a divisive stunner. Some find its photorealistic quality breathtaking, a true tea experience in a bottle. Others are less impressed, citing fleeting longevity and a linear composition for its premium price tag. You either love its delicate simplicity or you don't.

Season and Occasion Fit

Accordes

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its blend of sweet florals and woody notes, with prominent projection and longevity, makes it a bit much for the office. However, it's perfect for dates and casual wear where its 'effortless sexy' quality can shine, albeit a little mature for some.

Imperial Tea

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its intimate projection and fresh, clean accords make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, avoiding any overbearing presence. While beautiful, its delicate nature and potential low longevity might not command attention for formal events, and opinions vary on its suitability for dates due to its subtlety.
