Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Madison Pour Homme

This one's a smooth operator - a luxurious, classic-leaning aromatic fougere that's bright yet deep. Prepare for comparisons to other Roja fragrances, but most agree Madison is the superior, more refined choice.

Our Verdict - Pierre de Velay No. 25

A divisive one, this. Fans call it a masterpiece of complex green citrus, oozing luxury and class. Detractors find it too green, or generic and overpriced. If you're after a classic-smelling, masculine citrus-aromatic with a modern edge, then this could be for you.

Season and Occasion Fit

Madison Pour Homme

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its blend of classic masculinity and approachable freshness makes it ideal for formal events and dates, lending an aura of refined confidence. It's too potent for the office and entirely unsuitable for sport.

Pierre de Velay No. 25

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its sophisticated aromatic and woody character makes it suitable for date nights and casual wear, projecting an air of understated elegance. While it has presence, it's not overpowering for office wear if applied sparingly. Its complexity and luxury lean make it less appropriate for sporty, high-energy scenarios.
