Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois De Santal Eau de Parfum

This one's a quiet charmer that surprises. Don't expect fireworks, but it's genuinely lovely and easy to wear, though some find it a bit too soapy.

Our Verdict - Shadow of Your Smile Eau de Parfum

Skip this one. It's a bland, uninspired citrus floral that disappears faster than your hopes for a decent blind buy. Don't fall for the fancy name; it’s a total letdown in a bottle.

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its generally light and fresh character, coupled with reports of moderate longevity, makes it perfect for office or casual wear. While pleasant for dates, it lacks the bolder presence for formal events.

Sport

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its weak performance and extremely light citrus-floral profile make it mostly suitable for casual, inoffensive wear, though it's far too fleeting for any significant occasion. The lack of projection makes it acceptable for an office if you want to smell like nothing very quickly, and its freshness lends itself to sport, if only for a short burst.
