Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A Midsummer Dream EDP
This one's a proper grower, isn't it? A divisive Roja that polarises opinions like Brexit, but ultimately, it's a classy, sophisticated wear for those who appreciate traditional perfumery. Don't expect a crowd-pleaser; this is for the connoisseur, not the newbie.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lime Spirit EDP
A refreshing, vibrant hit of citrus that promises complexity but delivers fleeting pleasures. Those keen on a quick, zesty burst will find something to like here, but don't expect it to stick around for the long haul.

Season and Occasion Fit

A Midsummer Dream

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sophisticated aromatic and woody accords naturally lean towards formal and date settings, conveying an air of elegance. While refined, some find its projection too intimate for certain occasions; however, its refined nature makes it suitable for an understated office presence if not oversprayed.

Lime Spirit

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, energetic citrus and spicy accords make it suitable for casual wear and sport. The performance issues, noted by reviewers, mean it's unlikely to overwhelm in an office setting but wouldn't be a standout choice for formal occasions or a long date.
