Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Azalea
A truly polarising scent - some find it a gorgeous, seductive blend of sweet florals and woods, others recoil from a harsh, industrial unpleasantness or an overwhelming hit of black licorice. Definitely sample first, as Azalea is not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Talco
This is Talco, plain and simple. If you're after a sophisticated take on baby powder, New Notes delivers exactly that. It's polarising, with some finding it a comforting, clean dream and others dismissing it as too literal and, frankly, overpriced for what it is.

Season and Occasion Fit

Azalea

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its striking, often 'loud' projection and complex, sweet-balsamic character make it unsuitable for office wear, but ideal for dates or evening events where its unique profile can shine. The sweet, creamy yellow floral elements allow for some versatility in casual settings, particularly in cooler weather.

Talco

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its potent longevity and sillage mean a light hand is needed, making it less ideal for enclosed office spaces or formal events. However, its clean, comforting profile makes it perfect for casual wear, especially at home, and it's even described as a 'perfect after-gym perfume' by some.
