Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Madinah
Madinah is an absolute steal for a fresh, clean, and elegant rose, though some find it a bit too subtle or artificial. If you can get past a potentially synthetic opening, you'll be rewarded with a long-lasting, beautifully blended scent that punches far above its price point.

Our Verdict - Sonia
Sonia is a divisive floral that splits opinion right down the middle. Some find its soapy, woody drydown absolutely captivating, calling it classy and sophisticated, while others dismiss it as a synthetic air freshener that belongs in the bin.

Season and Occasion Fit

Madinah

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its fresh and clean rose profile, combined with impressive longevity, makes it versatile for most settings. It's particularly well-suited for casual and date wear due to its appealing, non-intrusive nature, even if some users find it too subtle for formal events or too strong for sporty activities.

Sonia

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its strong projection and impressive longevity in the initial hours make it a bit much for close-quarters office wear. However, its sophisticated and clean character, particularly in the drydown, makes it suitable for casual wear or an evening out, though perhaps less so for highly formal events.
