Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Believe EDP
Believe is a divisive yet unique gem in Britney's lineup. This isn't your typical celeb gourmand; it's a potent fruitchouli, loved by many for its earthy freshness, but be warned - the patchouli is a major player and not for everyone.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sierra EDP
Sierra chases the blackcurrant-rose-patchouli contrast that made Giorgio Armani's Si a modern chypre bestseller, delivering a sweet, fruity-woody wear that reads recognisably in the same family, though flatter and shorter-lived than Christine Nagel's polished, radiant original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Believe

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its potent patchouli and fruity sweetness make it a bit much for formal or very conservative office settings, but the refreshing, clean aspects lend themselves well to casual and even sporty wear. Many reviewers enjoy it as an everyday fragrance, particularly in warmer weather.

Sierra

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A sweet fruity-chypre that suits autumn, winter and cooler spring days best; too heavy for peak summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Classy and sweet enough for dates and formal wear; softer projection limits its all-day office presence.
