Which Should You Buy?
The OG fougère, reimagined for the modern gent. Fougere Royale offers timeless class and sophisticated freshness, though its understated performance might leave some wanting more. It's a crowd-pleaser that walks the line between classic elegance and contemporary wearability.
A truly beautiful, realistic lilac that's tragically let down by abysmal performance. It’s either a fleeting dream or a delightful layering base, as reviews are split between adoration for the scent and frustration with its staying power.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its clean, classic profile and moderate-to-light projection make it ideal for office wear and formal events where subtlety is key. While versatile, its sophisticated nature might feel a bit overdressed for casual sport, though many enjoy its fresh character for everyday casual wear. Performance varies, with some finding it fleeting.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its very light projection and poor longevity make it suitable for casual wear or even a comfortable 'skin scent' after showering. It's too subtle for formal events or dates where you want to make an impression, but its freshness works for sport.
