Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Knot Eau de Parfum

A divisive blend that promises Italian sunshine but can deliver a challenging bitterness on some skin chemistries. When it works, it's a sophisticated, fresh, and clean floral with surprising depth. When it doesn't, it quickly turns sour.

Our Verdict - Lavande 31 Eau de Parfum

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

Knot Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Formal

Also Works:

Date

Its clean, fresh, and often-described 'soapy' character makes it perfect for office or casual wear where it can project a professional aura without being overwhelming. While some find it elegant enough for formal settings, its divisive nature and potential for animalic notes might make it less universally appealing for a date night. Longevity and sillage are moderate, preventing it from being too loud for certain environments.

Lavande 31 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

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.
