Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - À la Rose EDP
A light, luminous, clean rose that stays soft and reaches no further than arm's length. Bergamot, pear and litchi open it bright, Bulgarian and Grasse roses fill the heart, with musk and cedar below.
Favourite
Our Verdict - The Pink EDP
A fresh, petal-soft rose in the style of Maison Francis Kurkdjian A La Rose. Bergamot brightens it, magnolia and violet shape the heart, and musk and cedar close. Clean, gentle and made for daytime.

Season and Occasion Fit

À la Rose

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Rose, litchi and bergamot are fresh and light, so spring is the best fit and summer a close second. It is too sheer for winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Soft and polished, it fits the office, daytime plans and dates well. It is too sheer for a formal evening.

The Pink

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the floral signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date Formal

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.
