Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 4 Eau de Parfum

This 90s powerhouse is a fascinating blend of opulence and restraint. It's a scent for the bold, confident woman who isn't afraid to make an entrance, though some find it a bit too vintage for everyday wear. Love it or hate it, No. 4 demands attention.

Our Verdict - Madurai Eau de Parfum

Madurai is a genuinely divisive scent. For some, it's a 'travel in a bottle' jasmine dream, fresh and intoxicating. For others, it's a synthetic peach mess with a screechy, even unpleasant dry-down. Definitely try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

No. 4 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and rich, complex profile, No. 4 is best suited for formal events and dates, where its presence can truly shine. It's generally too intense for an office setting and much too overstated for casual wear or sport.

Madurai Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Given its strong projection and excellent longevity, Madurai leans more towards social events than the office, where it might be too much for some. The fresh, fruity white floral profile makes it quite versatile for both casual outings and elegant dates, especially during warmer months.
