Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bergamote Soleil EDP
A truly gorgeous citrus that's bright, natural, and refreshingly complex. The only catch is its notoriously short lifespan, making it a love-it-or-resent-the-reapplication-needs type of scent.
Favourite

Season and Occasion Fit

Bergamote Soleil

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile makes it a fantastic fit for casual settings and active wear. While not overpowering, its bright character makes it suitable for an office, though its fleeting longevity might make it less ideal for a long date or formal event without reapplying.

Paul Smith

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

Paul Smith Edt has a fresh and spicy profile, making it ideal for mild to warm weather, typical of spring and summer. Its composition can also work in fall, but it's less suited to winter's colder temperatures.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Moderate projection and fresh spicy accords make Paul Smith suitable for office and date settings, where it is noticeable but not overpowering. Its versatility also allows for casual wear, but it's less fitting for sports due to its refined nature.
