When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent oakmoss and strong projection make it less suitable for the office. However, its sophisticated and bold character, referenced by many as a 'Chypre Floral' and 'classy', lends itself well to date nights and formal events. The strong, lasting performance means a little goes a long way.

About

Chique opens with a powerful, almost bracing mossy and earthy hit that's interwoven with a sharp, bright citrus blast of lemon and orange. This quickly deepens into a rich, complex heart where verdant oakmoss reigns supreme, softened slightly by subtle floral notes and an undercurrent of ripe, dark fruits. The dry down retains that signature mossy intensity, leaving a confident, lasting trail that evokes both nature and old-school glamour.
