Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sa Majeste la Rose EDP

This is Serge Lutens' unapologetic ode to the rose: vivid, natural, and utterly majestic. While some find it linear or even too intense, rose enthusiasts will adore its authentic, fresh-from-the-garden character, offering a masterclass in rose soliflores that few can match.

Our Verdict - Indus EDP

Indus is a divisive fruity rose, with some finding it a beautiful, sophisticated take on the genre, while others find it a little too old-fashioned or overly rose-centric. Those who love it are obsessed, finding it addictive and incredibly long-lasting.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sa Majeste la Rose

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

A spring-forward, daytime rose. The dewy green opening and honeyed bloom read brightest in warm spring air, with autumn a close second as the woody-musk drydown gains presence. Wearers find it too fresh and floral for deep winter and a touch sweet for high summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Formal

Its clean, realistic rose and soft-to-moderate projection make it versatile - polished enough for formal occasions and dates where its luxurious bloom leaves a lasting impression, and inoffensive enough for casual daytime wear. It can be a touch dominant for a conservative office and lacks the lightness for sport.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Formal

Also Works:

Office

With its strong projection and impressive longevity, Indus is best suited for evenings and special occasions where it can truly shine without being overwhelming. While some find it clean enough for casual wear, its sophisticated rose and incense notes lean towards more elevated settings.
