Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blossom Love EDP
This one's a definite love-it-or-hate-it Amouage. When it works, it's a sweet, elegant dream of cherry blossom and powdery almond. But for many, that amaretto note clashes horribly, creating something cloying or even downright unpleasant. Test it first, definitely.

Our Verdict - Shalimar Millésime Tonka EDP
A modern, sophisticated Shalimar flanker, Tonka proves to be a crowd-pleaser, delivering a smooth, slightly boozy take on the classic. Guerlain's decision to make this a limited edition has only fuelled its legendary status and desirability. Expect to pay a pretty penny on the secondary market.

Season and Occasion Fit

Blossom Love

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its significant projection and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, where it might overwhelm. The sweet, romantic profile and elegant blend of notes are perfect for dates and evening events, while its unique character can elevate a casual outing.

Shalimar Millésime Tonka

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, deep, and long-lasting nature makes it excellent for dates or formal events where you want to make an impression. While it's sophisticated enough for some office environments, its strong projection means it's best applied lightly to avoid overwhelming colleagues. It's generally too heavy for casual daytime wear.
