Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Italia EDP
This one is a car crash, to be honest. The community's pretty clear: it's synthetic, overwhelming, and just not a pleasant experience. Avoid, unless you enjoy smelling like 'chemical garbage'.
Acquired
Our Verdict - My Burberry EDP
This one is a classic for a reason and gets a lot of love, but it's not universally adored. It's an elegant, 'perfumey' floral that projects confidence and class, though some find it a bit too mature or even generic.

Season and Occasion Fit

Italia

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

No strong occasion fit

Given the overwhelming and 'stinky' synthetic nature highlighted by reviews, this fragrance is unsuitable for any occasion where you might be in close proximity to others. Its reported strength means it would be particularly offensive in an office or date setting.

My Burberry

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its clean, elegant floral profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear, as many users attested to its 'inoffensive' nature. However, strong sillage might be too 'pronounced' for some formal occasions, and it's definitely not a sport scent.
