Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Exit The King

This is a clean-cut chypre with a divisive, almost startlingly retro opening that mellows into a surprisingly complex, modern clean scent. Some find it a bit too old-school or even unpleasant, but for those who get it, it's a unique and addictive 'luxe soap' experience.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Lace

Don't be a snob - Yardley Lace, especially a vintage bottle, is a hidden gem from a master perfumer. An absolute steal that punches well above its weight, delivering classic feminine charm. The recent reformulations? Best avoided, stick to the real deal.

Season and Occasion Fit

Exit The King

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Sport

Its clean, fresh character makes it ideal for everyday and casual wear, even in warmer climates, as many reviewers attest. While it can be quite strong initially, it dries down to a pleasant scent suitable for office environments, though perhaps not for formal events where its prominent 'soap' accord might feel out of place.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Autumn Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, particularly in the EDP and vintage formulations, mean it's best applied lightly for the office, but it shines in more formal or special date settings. The sophisticated floral-mossy profile makes it versatile for a range of dressier occasions, with many reviewers noting its 'day to night' potential.
