Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L’Eau Serge Lutens Eau de Toilette

Divisive yet iconic, L'Eau by Serge Lutens is the 'anti-perfume' that sets out to smell like nothing and everything clean. Some find it a groundbreaking minimalist masterpiece, others a bland, overpriced laundry detergent. Love it or hate it, it certainly makes a statement by *not* making one.

Our Verdict - Thé Basilic Eau de Parfum

A vibrant green tea and basil blend that's an absolute steal for summer, delivering a refreshing blast that punches well above its weight. It's often compared to pricier rivals, though some find the basil a bit much or the performance lacking in newer batches.

L’Eau Serge Lutens Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

This scent is perfect for the office due to its inoffensive 'clean' profile and moderate projection; many reviews highlight its suitability for professional settings. While good for casual wear, its subtlety and lack of traditional 'perfume' notes make it less ideal for dates or formal events where a bolder statement might be preferred. It's a suitable choice for sport due to its refreshing nature.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and herbal character makes it ideal for casual wear, office environments, and sports, as it provides a invigorating scent without being overpowering. The moderate projection means it's suitable for close quarters but might lack the gravitas for formal events or the allure for a date.
