Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Roy Soleil

A truly opulent and complex blast from the past, Le Roy Soleil is a tropical fruit cocktail blended with warm spices and deep woods. It's a polarizing scent - some find it a masterful work of art, others a slightly obnoxious relic of the 90s, but few deny its unique character and potent sillage. A confident choice for those who dare to stand out.

Our Verdict - Les Belles de Ricci Delice d'Epices

A beloved discontinued gem, this one is an autumnal hug in a bottle, if you can still get your hands on it. It’s got a loyal fanbase who adore its spiced fruitiness, though a few find it a bit too unusual or misinterpret its gourmand promise.

Also Works:

Spring Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent projection and unique, complex blend of fruits and spices make it a bit much for the office. However, it's a stellar choice for dates and formal events, where its luxurious warmth and 'boozy' fruity character can truly shine without overpowering. It can be worn casually too, but leans towards statement rather than everyday comfort.
