Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Clémentine California EDP
A truly gorgeous, photo-realistic clementine opener that is universally adored. If only that vibrant top note stuck around, this would be a year-round staple. As it stands, it's a fleeting summer dream, perfect for an instant pick-me-up - just be prepared to reapply often.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Japanese Sapphire For Men EDP
Perfume Parlour's version of Issey Miyake's L'Eau Bleue d'Issey pour Homme. The green, spicy-aromatic rosemary-and-lime over a woody patchouli-cedar base is captured, with Japanese Sapphire pushing a fuller wear and improving on the original's somewhat modest longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit

Clémentine California

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its luminous, clean profile and notoriously poor longevity make it perfectly suited for casual wear or the office, where subtlety is key. It's too ephemeral and light for formal events and lacks the depth for a serious date night, but perfect for a quick, refreshing lift before or after sport.

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The green, herbal-aromatic and woody profile suits spring, summer and early autumn wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
