Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Calandre
This isn't just a perfume, it's a personality. Calandre is your elegant, no-nonsense pal for spring and summer, delivering a smooth, metallic rose that's often compared to - and sometimes preferred over - the iconic Rive Gauche. It's a timeless classic that holds its own, though some find modern iterations fall short of its original glory.
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.

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:

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.
