Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Zafferano EDP
This one's a divisive bugger, half the crowd calls it a delicate skin scent and the other half a beast. What's not up for debate is the luxurious, complex blend of saffron, florals, and a surprisingly modern fresh bite. Definitely one to try before you buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Pure Radiance Extrait
A bright, honeyed take on Xerjoff Erba Pura. Pure Radiance captures the fruity-honey-vanilla warmth reasonably well but is simpler and less lush than the original's rich Mediterranean blend.

Season and Occasion Fit

Zafferano

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Given its moderate to strong performance reported by some and its luxurious, complex accord profile, this scent is ideal for dates and formal events. Its fresh elements and 'inoffensive' nature also make it suitable for office wear, but perhaps not a casual choice for everyone.

Pure Radiance

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

The bright citrus-honey blend is built for warm weather and loses presence in colder months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Sweet and radiant rather than formal, this suits casual daytime wear and warm-weather dates.
