Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mauboussin Pour Lui EDP
Mauboussin Pour Lui pulls off a modern classic vibe, but don't expect a power-house. It's a subtle aromatic woody scent that's all about close-quarters charm, not filling a room. Great if you value intimacy over ambition.

Our Verdict - Luna Rossa Carbon EDP
This flanker is an intriguing diversion from the original 'Carbon', sparking fierce debate among fans. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it response to its prominent licorice, but don't knock it 'til you've tried it - it's a bold departure for Prada.

Its poor projection and silage mean it's ideal for office wear, as it won't offend. The subtle, elegant profile makes it suitable for intimate dates or casual outings where you want to smell good without being loud. It's too muted for formal events or sports.

Occasions

Best For:
