Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Orage Eau de Parfum
Louis Vuitton's Orage. This 'thunderstorm in a bottle' is a beautifully crafted fresh-earthy scent, though its divisive performance makes the eye-watering price tag a bitter pill to swallow for many. You'll either adore its unique, understated elegance or resent its poor longevity.

Our Verdict - Avant Eau de Parfum
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. While some find its smoky take on a classic DNA a bargain, a significant chunk of folks reckon it smells like burnt sausages, dirty campfires, or rotten veg. Definitely not a blind buy unless you're feeling adventurous and have ten quid to spare.

Season and Occasion Fit

Orage Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal Sport

Its fresh, understated nature makes it ideal for office and casual wear, providing a clean scent bubble without being intrusive. While it has an elegant dry down, its often-reported poor projection and longevity mean it might not make the desired impact in a formal or date setting.

Avant Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its intensely smoky character makes it a bit much for a formal setting or the office, but its fresh, energetic opening suits casual wear and even sport. The divisive nature of the smoke means it's a risky pick for a date, but could work if your date enjoys an unusual smoky scent.
