Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Five O'Clock Au Gingembre Eau de Parfum
This Serge Lutens creation is a divisive one. You'll either get a sublime, sophisticated spiced tea experience that's both comforting and unique, or you'll be smelling varnish, play-doh, or even straight-up cat pee. Definitely sample first.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lord Blue Eau de Parfum
Lord Blue offers a pleasant, albeit fleeting, everyday scent. If you're after something fresh and clean without much fuss, it's decent value, but don't expect it to turn heads or last through the day.

Season and Occasion Fit

Five O'Clock Au Gingembre Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and lack of strong projection make it subtle enough for office wear, though some find it too 'grown-up'. The warm, spicy accords with a touch of sweetness lend themselves well to casual and date settings, while its unique sophistication allows for formal wear. It's far too mellow for sport.

Lord Blue Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh and clean profile, combined with generally low projection, makes it an ideal choice for the office or casual daily wear. It's too understated and lacks the potency for formal events or a memorable date night.
