Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Dandy EDP
The Dandy is a sophisticated, whiskey-soaked woody fragrance that exudes confident elegance and vintage charm. Its rich, boozy heart and velvet woods create a uniquely magnetic signature that stands out in any crowd.

Our Verdict - Sel d'Azur EDP
This marine citrus hit is a divisive blend; some reckon it's a breath of fresh air for scorching days, boasting quality beyond its price tag. Others find it bland and headache-inducing, a basic shower gel scent that falls flat. Try before you buy, it seems.

Season and Occasion Fit

The Dandy

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The Dandy's rich woody and whiskey facets are best suited for cooler weather, making it ideal for fall and winter. Its vibrant fruity top notes provide a lift that can work in spring, but its warmth is too dense for most summer days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The bold, opulent character and boozy warmth make it perfect for formal evenings or date nights. Its sillage and richness are too assertive for office or sporty settings but can add flair to upscale casual wear.

Sel d'Azur

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and clean citrus-woody profile makes it highly suitable for casual and sport settings, especially in warm weather. While light, some might find the initial projection too strong for an office, and it lacks the depth for formal or romantic dates.
