Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Pavillon D'Or

This one is a divisive and complex beast. Some find it a calming, unique green scent that morphs beautifully, others detect a sharp, bitter, or even 'old-fashioned' quality. Sample before you buy, it's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone.

Statement

Our Verdict - Sui Generis

This one's a solid, understated fragrance that's surprisingly divisive over its price-to-quality ratio, but ultimately wins out as a well-blended, modern woody floral. Don't sleep on it just because it's a dupe - it stands on its own.

Its moderate sillage and subtle, clean, and green profile make it suitable for casual wear and potentially the office, though some find it too 'vintage cologne'. It's not loud enough for a bold formal statement or invigorating enough for sport.
