Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fig Neroli
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; it's a solid base for layering, but on its own, it might leave you wanting a bit more complexity. Expect a green, woody fig that's either refreshingly direct or a tad too simple, depending on who you ask.

Our Verdict - Lady Rose Lion (Monkey Unicorn)
This chypre is Marmite in a bottle - love it or hate it, there's no middle ground. Some find it a masterpiece of peachy-basil-rose complexity, while others recoil from what they perceive as a screechy, synthetic mess. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fig Neroli

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its moderate sillage and fresh, woody profile make it perfectly suitable for an office environment or casual daytime wear, avoiding anything too intrusive. The lack of overt 'wow factor' means it's less ideal for formal events or highly romantic dates where something more distinctive might be preferred.

Lady Rose Lion (Monkey Unicorn)

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Given its strong sillage and complex, sometimes divisive character, this isn't best suited for office wear, as it can be quite assertive. It leans towards more personal or adventurous occasions where its unique personality can truly shine, performing best in cooler weather according to reviews.
