Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le perce-vent Eau de Parfum

A modern, musk-heavy clean scent from Serge Lutens that splits opinion. Some find it a fresh, invigorating breath of frosty air, a 'your skin but better' vibe, while others are left underwhelmed by its simplicity and perceived lack of Lutens' signature daring.

Favourite

Our Verdict - E Pur Si Muove Eau de Parfum

A pristine, clean musk that's both elegant and underrated. If you're after a luxurious, 'just stepped out of the shower' vibe, this one's a winner and a safe blind buy.

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

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its clean, inoffensive profile and moderate sillage make it highly suitable for office and casual wear. While some find its longevity good, the 'intimate' nature means it won't overwhelm, making it versatile across many settings, though less ideal for formal events requiring a bolder statement.

Also Works:

Date

Its clean, 'skin scent' nature makes it incredibly versatile, perfect for office environments or casual wear where you want to smell put-together without shouting. While it can work for dates or formal events due to its expensive aura, it's not a powerhouse projector, making it less ideal for occasions where you want to make a bold statement. Its freshness is suitable for gym use, though some might find it a touch too refined for heavy sweating.
