Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Declaration d'Un Soir Eau de Parfum

This is a masterpiece that should never have been discontinued. An elegant, fresh, and spicy rose for men that turns heads without shouting, though some find it a touch too floral or dated. It's often debated if it's truly masculine, but it definitely leaves an impression.

Our Verdict - Magnifique Eau de Parfum

Lancôme's Magnifique is a divisive, opinionated red-dress marvel for those who want a grown-up rose with a spicy, woody edge. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but for its loyal fans, it's a 'magnifique' original that transcends fleeting trends.
