Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Les Années 25 EDP
A unique blend of spicy oriental notes with a fresh twist, perfect for those seeking a memorable and complex fragrance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - XXV Years EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Tauer Perfumes - Les Annees 25 - a warm spicy fragrance led by Ginger, Nutmeg, Spices, with floral depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
