Quick answer
Choose THE FAVOURITE if you want a bright, floral-musk scent with a polished, society-ready character; choose ENDYMION if you prefer a classic eau de cologne built on bergamot, suede, coffee, and geranium. Both are Signature fragrances, but they pull in different directions: THE FAVOURITE leans luminous and feminine, ENDYMION leans refined and traditionally masculine.
Scent character: golden mimosa vs. suede and coffee
THE FAVOURITE opens with a golden mimosa accord that the catalog describes as swaying society's opinion, then settles into iris, musk, and a sandalwood stage. That progression makes it feel bright at first and softly powdery-woody later. ENDYMION, by contrast, is described as a classical eau de cologne: a sparkle of bergamot dances off suede, coffee, and geranium. The result is a scent that feels tailored and slightly gourmand without being sweet.
The practical difference is in the first ten minutes. THE FAVOURITE makes a floral statement; ENDYMION makes a crisp, aromatic one. If you dislike powdery iris or musk, THE FAVOURITE may feel too soft in the dry-down. If you dislike coffee accents in fragrance, ENDYMION's roasted note may distract you.
Wear and presence: how each scent behaves
The catalog does not list concentration or longevity for either scent, so treat any wear-time claim as personal. What the descriptions do suggest is style: THE FAVOURITE's musk and sandalwood base reads as a close, skin-like finish, while ENDYMION's bergamot-and-suede structure reads as a classic cologne that sits lightly. Neither is described as an intense oriental or a heavy gourmand, so both are plausible for daytime and office wear.
If you want a scent that announces itself across a room, neither description promises that. If you want something that feels polished but not loud, both fit. The trade-off is that THE FAVOURITE may feel more formal and floral, while ENDYMION may feel more casual and aromatic.
The price and value trade-off
At the catalog prices shown, THE FAVOURITE is USD 64.80 (compared with USD 90.00) and ENDYMION is USD 56.25 (compared with USD 75.00). That makes ENDYMION the lower-cost entry point, but price should not be the only factor: choose the scent character you will actually wear. A lower price on a scent you rarely reach for is not a saving.
Also note that both listings show only a Title option, with no size or concentration variants listed in the supplied data. If you need a specific bottle size or strength, check the product page before ordering; the catalog facts here do not specify them.
Decision rules: which one to pick
- If you want a floral-musk signature: Pick THE FAVOURITE when you want mimosa and iris up front and a musk-sandalwood finish. It is the better match for someone who finds classic colognes too sharp or citrus-heavy.
- If you want a classic eau de cologne: Pick ENDYMION when you want bergamot sparkle with suede, coffee, and geranium. It is the better match for someone who likes aromatic, tailored scents and does not mind a coffee accent.
- If you are undecided: Compare the two on the note you feel most strongly about: if you dislike powdery iris, avoid THE FAVOURITE; if you dislike coffee in fragrance, avoid ENDYMION. If neither note bothers you, choose based on whether you want floral or cologne character. Order from a retailer with a returns policy you have read, since neither listing here specifies a sample program.
