Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Calandre
This isn't just a perfume, it's a personality. Calandre is your elegant, no-nonsense pal for spring and summer, delivering a smooth, metallic rose that's often compared to - and sometimes preferred over - the iconic Rive Gauche. It's a timeless classic that holds its own, though some find modern iterations fall short of its original glory.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Love and Tears
This is a fiercely divisive white floral, with some hailing it as a masterpiece of fresh jasmine and others finding it overwhelming or simply 'nice' but overpriced. If you're a devoted white floral fiend, it's worth a sniff.

Its clean, fresh character and aldehydic uplift make it excellent for office wear, while its decent longevity and moderate projection still allow it to feel pulled-together for casual outings and semi-formal events.
