Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L' Mixte
A divisive scent for some, but for most, L'Eau Mixte is a beautiful, classic-style citrus chypre, perfect for warm weather. Expect a natural, uplifting experience, even if the price tag for an 'eau' strength raises a few eyebrows.

Our Verdict - Avant
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. While some find its smoky take on a classic DNA a bargain, a significant chunk of folks reckon it smells like burnt sausages, dirty campfires, or rotten veg. Definitely not a blind buy unless you're feeling adventurous and have ten quid to spare.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its intensely smoky character makes it a bit much for a formal setting or the office, but its fresh, energetic opening suits casual wear and even sport. The divisive nature of the smoke means it's a risky pick for a date, but could work if your date enjoys an unusual smoky scent.
