Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - White Shoulders

White Shoulders is a divisive classic. It's either an iconic, beautiful white floral with a vintage allure, or an "old lady" scent with an overpowering, synthetic edge. You'll either adore its soapy, clean bouquet or be utterly repulsed; there's little middle ground.

Our Verdict - Come L'Amore

This is a divisive one. Many find it a stunning, high-quality white floral that's a perfect bridal scent, but others are put off by a 'soapy' or 'old-fashioned' quality, some even detecting a 'dog' or 'old wool blanket' scent in the dry down. A definite try-before-you-buy.

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its bold floral profile means it can be a bit much for the office if oversprayed, but its clean, classic character makes it versatile. It's often associated with feminine elegance, suitable for both casual wear and more formal events, especially considering many wear it as a comforting, everyday scent.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and significant longevity make it suitable for a date or formal event without being overpowering. While some find it too potent for the office, its elegance suggests it could work in a professional setting if applied lightly. It's too opulent for active sports.
