Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Perfumer's Choice No.9 Victor Eau de Parfum
Possibly the best ultra-budget Aventus-inspired fragrance, Victor No.9 delivers a vibrant fruity-citrus burst over smoky woods and moss. Not the richest or most natural, but unbeatable value and crowd-pleasing versatility.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cedrat Boise Eau de Parfum
Cedrat Boise is a deeply divisive fruity-woody fragrance. For some, it's a versatile beast with a stunning dry down, for others, it's a scrubber smelling of burnt rubber, ashtrays or cleaning products. Definitely sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit

Perfumer's Choice No.9 Victor Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

The juicy citrus and fruity opening makes it ideal for spring and early summer, while the woody, mossy drydown adds enough depth for fall. It can be worn in winter, though it may lack the heft for cold nights.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal Sport

Its mass-appealing, fresh and fruity character makes it perfect for casual, office, date, and gym wear. Projection is moderate and not cloying, so it's safe for most settings. Less suitable for highly formal occasions.

Occasions

Best For:
