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 - Norse EDP
Norse follows Creed Viking Cologne's fresh aromatic-woody fougere. The bright citrus opening and herbal-woody heart land close to the brief, but as a budget dupe it wears lighter and flatter, with the refined vetiver drydown softened.

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.

Norse

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The fresh citrus, aromatic herbs and clean woods are made for warm-weather wear in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal Sport

Its clean, versatile fresh-aromatic profile suits the office, daily wear and casual outings rather than formal evenings.
