Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 5th Avenue EDP

A divisive floral classic that people love for its sophisticated charm or dismiss for its perceived cheapness. Expect a clean, elegant scent, but be warned: reformulations mean many find it's lost its former beast-mode glory.

Our Verdict - Musk Floral EDP

If you're after a clean, grown-up musk with a touch of sweetness and sophistication, this is a solid choice. It's a crowd-pleaser that delivers on comfort and elegance, but don't expect it to blow your socks off with originality.

Season and Occasion Fit

5th Avenue

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Formal

Also Works:

Date

Its clean, inoffensive floral profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear. Despite some finding it perfect for formal events, mentions of its weaker modern performance mean it's unlikely to be a showstopper for a big night out.

Musk Floral

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Spring

Its musky, powdery and floral composition leans towards autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and clean, powdery musky profile make it highly appropriate for office and casual wear, providing a pleasant, non-intrusive aura. While suitable for dates, its more relaxed character might not hit the mark for very formal events or active sport.
