Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Meant To Be Seen Extrait

This is a seriously divisive skin scent, loved by some for its comforting iris musk, but dismissed by others as a boring, overpriced copycat. If you're after a loud projection, look elsewhere - this one's all about intimate elegance.

Acquired

Our Verdict - L.12.12. Rose Eau Intense EDP

This Rose Eau Intense isn't intense in performance, but it's an easy-going fresh rose with a powdery, woody backdrop. It's a bit of a mixed bag for some, but generally considered pleasant and inoffensive, if not groundbreaking.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and lasting power make it perfect for close-quarters like the office or casual outings without being overwhelming. While some find it elegant enough for formal events, its 'skin scent' vibe means it won't project much. It's too subtle for sport.
