Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Herve Leger Femme
This discontinued Avon gem is a divisive one, but those who love it, really, really love it. Expect a sophisticated, woody-floral scent that defies its budget origins, especially on the right skin chemistry. A cult classic and a true 'if you know, you know' fragrance.

Our Verdict - Midnight in the Palace Garden
This one's a proper grower, mind. Initial sprays can be a bit much, throwing some off, but a patient nose will be rewarded. It's a divisive scent; some rave about its unique charm, others just don't get the hype. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Herve Leger Femme

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its woody and aromatic accords, coupled with reports of good longevity and sillage for many, make it versatile for evening and cooler weather. While some find it suitable for work due to its refined character, its depth might be a bit much for a very conservative office environment. It can be a bit strong if oversprayed.

Autumn

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and longevity, this isn't really an office scent. It shines brightest on dates or formal evenings where its mysterious and sensual character can truly captivate, though its relaxed drydown also suits casual evening wear.
