Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising beast, Fils de Joie is either a magnificent, syrupy jasmine full of carnal allure or an overpowering, headache-inducing scrubber. Its dramatic, heady nature ensures it's rarely forgotten, for better or worse.
If Van Cleef & Arpels 'First' is your jam but you want something less extra, Hams Al Warood is your streamlined, aldehyde-free dream floral. It's chic, grown-up, and all about that rich floral glow without the fuss.

Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its elegant floral profile makes it ideal for formal events and dates, offering a sophisticated presence without being overly loud. While it can be worn in the office, its richness might be a bit much for everyday casual wear or physical activity.
