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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Esprit du Roi
A truly refined old-school aromatic with a contemporary twist that's divisive: some adore its classic charm, while others find it a touch dated. If you appreciate traditional colognes updated for modern sensibility, this could be your sophisticated signature, despite its fleeting nature.

Season and Occasion Fit

L' Mixte

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, green, and citrus heavy profile makes it ideal for casual wear and sport, and its moderate sillage keeps it office-safe. While some find it too light for formal occasions, its sophisticated blending elevates it beyond a mere 'cologne' for some dates.

Esprit du Roi

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate longevity and subtle sillage make it ideal for office wear, being noticeable but not overpowering. While versatile, its classic and refined character, leaning towards a 'barbershop' style, is less suited for casual or sport settings than for more composed environments.
