Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ormolu Eau de Toilette

Ormolu is a true vintage statement: deeply divisive, either loved for its classic, mysterious charm or decried as an 'aldehyde bomb'. It is definitely not for everyone, but if you appreciate a classic, woody-green chypre, you might just fall for its unique allure.

Statement

Our Verdict - Victorian Posy Eau de Parfum

A divisive scent that evokes strong opinions, Victorian Posy is either a charming, nostalgic nod to English gardens or a dusty, old-fashioned scrubber. It's a love-it-or-hate-it classic that demands confidence to wear, certainly not for the faint-hearted.

Also Works:

Date Casual

Its strong, assertive presence and classic floral-woody profile mean it might be a bit much for a conservative office environment, but it shines in formal settings. The romantic and nostalgic feel makes it suitable for intimate dates or casual, thoughtful wear, though its lack of freshness makes it unsuitable for sport.
