Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Voleur de Roses Eau de Parfum
Voleur de Roses is a divisive beast: an earthy, gothic take on rose and patchouli that some adore as a masterpiece, while others find it a damp, mouldy mess. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent with a uniquely dark charm that's certainly not for the faint of heart.
Statement
Our Verdict - Arabican Rose Eau de Parfum
A truly divisive rose, with some finding it a comforting, intimate embrace and others recoiling from a 'medicinal' or 'old-school' vibe. If you love a jammy rose with a shot of bitter coffee, this might be your unconventional cup of tea.

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, earthy rose and patchouli character, combined with reports of moderate to good longevity, make it a bit much for the office. However, its dark and sensual nature means it truly shines as a date night or formal evening scent. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling a bit edgy, but sport is a definite no-go.

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and intimate nature make it suitable for close encounters like dates, where its warmth cultivates romance. While perhaps a bit too cosy for a formal setting, it's elegant enough to pass, particularly in cooler months, but its distinctive character might be distracting for an office environment. This is certainly not for sport, its rich warmth conflicting with activity.
