Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Au Masculin EDP

This early noughties gem is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent licorice and anise, backed by sweet vanilla and boozy warmth. If you appreciate a unique, sweet-spicy signature, you're in for a treat, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Our Verdict - Lempicka Homme EDT

This one is a divisive beast: some hail it as a captivating, versatile anise-vanilla dream, while others dismiss it as a pale imitation of its predecessor, lacking both punch and longevity. A love-it-or-hate-it affair, not for the faint of heart or those expecting a powerhouse.

Season and Occasion Fit

Au Masculin

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong, sweet, and unique profile makes it a standout choice for dates and cooler casual outings, where its sillage can truly shine. The sweetness and potential for strong projection limit its appropriateness for office or formal settings, and it's definitely not one for sport.

Lempicka Homme

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate projection and 'soft, warm and cuddly' nature make it suitable for close encounters like dates or casual wear, especially in cooler weather. The lack of beast-mode performance means it won't be overpowering in an office, though its sweetness might be a bit much for very formal settings.
