Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boudoir Eau de Parfum

A truly iconic, complex, and divisive fragrance. Boudoir is pure, unadulterated Vivienne Westwood: a punk-rock baroque extravaganza that polarises opinion. It's either an intoxicating, high-class 'dirty' floral or an overwhelming, skanky mess. One thing is certain: there's nothing else like her.

Our Verdict - Jazz Eau de Parfum

This is a seriously divisive one. Some hail Jazz as an undisputed masterpiece, a timeless classic that screams mature masculinity. Others, however, find it dated, bordering on unpleasant, with reformulations hitting particularly hard. You'll either love its aggressive opening and smooth drydown, or you'll find it an overwhelming blast from the past.

Season and Occasion Fit

Boudoir Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Boudoir's strong sillage and long-lasting, deep spicy floral character make it completely unsuitable for the office, where it would overwhelm. It's designed for intimate, special moments like a date or an evening event, where its seductive nature can truly shine, rather than casual wear or sport.

Jazz Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Jazz's strong, classic profile and considerable projection make it suitable for formal events and dates where you want to make an impression. It's a bit much for casual wear, and while some wear it to the office, its bold presence might be distracting. It is definitely not a sport fragrance.
