Just asking which some prefer over the other.

Also an option if you can't make up your mind.

I've only tried Sous le Vent once while I was also testing Vol de Nuit parfum. For me, Vol de Nuit parfum overshadowed Sous le Vent (much preferred VdN's drydown compared to SLV's drydown), but I'm sure more extensive testing is in order.

For now, my vote is for Derby.

Love to smell Sous le Vent on others. Like to wear vintage Derby.

I love everything about Derby.

Sous le Vent smells great, but is too fleeting IMO.

Sous le Vent by far. I don't like Derby for myself.

+1

Also a Guerlain which shares the same DNA as Sous le Vent is Philtre d'Amour, another favorite of mine.

I just slightly prefer Sous le Vent. Derby is wonderful, but its drydown isn't as inspiring as Sous le Vent to me.

Derby is wonderful, though.
