Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Essencial Supreme

This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, frequently compared to Guerlain's Insolence. If you're into deep, powdery violet with a plum twist, you'll likely adore it. If not, best give it a wide berth.

Our Verdict - Back To Paris

This one's a divisive drop, splitting opinions between exquisite and utterly awful. Some find it a richly complex, unusual floral woody musk, while others reckon it's a cheap, synthetic mess. Definitely not a blind buy.

Essencial Supreme

Seasons

Best For:

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and summer pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its powdery, woody, and floral accords suggest a more refined scent, better suited for dates or formal events rather than casual wear or sport. While some reviews mention it stays close to the skin, others describe it as 'too loud' and 'in your face', making it a risky choice for a confined office environment.
