Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Le Roy Soleil Eau de Parfum
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Madrid Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Giorgio Armani Si (2013) - blackcurrant nectar, rose and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and summer pair best.
Occasions
Best For:

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.
