Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 4
This 90s powerhouse is a fascinating blend of opulence and restraint. It's a scent for the bold, confident woman who isn't afraid to make an entrance, though some find it a bit too vintage for everyday wear. Love it or hate it, No. 4 demands attention.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Gem
This 80s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a punchy, complex chypre that divides opinions but commands attention. An acquired taste for some, a treasured gem for others, its intensity makes it unforgettable.

Season and Occasion Fit

No. 4

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and rich, complex profile, No. 4 is best suited for formal events and dates, where its presence can truly shine. It's generally too intense for an office setting and much too overstated for casual wear or sport.
