Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Infusion d'Iris Cèdre EDP

This is Prada's clean-cut Iris and Cedar, a divisive scent that some adore for its sophisticated cleanliness and quiet luxury, whilst others find it too austere, powdery, or even plain. If you appreciate the brand's 'soapy' DNA, this is a must-try. Just be aware of the ongoing name and formulation drama online.

Our Verdict - Saont III EDP

A budget take on Le Labo's cult Santal 33. Saont III lands that instantly recognisable dry cedar-and-sandalwood signature with the violet-leather facet and cardamom lift, capturing the trendsetting woody character. It reads a shade drier and sharper, the creamy sandalwood roundness and beastly longevity of the original not quite matched.

Season and Occasion Fit

Infusion d'Iris Cèdre

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Formal

Also Works:

Date Sport

Its clean, inoffensive profile and moderate projection make it ideal for office and casual wear. The elegant blend also suits formal settings, though it might lack the 'wow' factor for a date night. Reviews consistently highlight its suitability for work and daily wear, rarely mentioning sport.

Saont III

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

The dry cedar-sandalwood-leather core makes this a cooler-weather scent for autumn and winter, wearable in spring; a little dry and warm for high summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Effortlessly cool and unisex, it suits casual days, the office and relaxed evenings; refined enough to edge into smart-casual but not a formal statement.
