Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cherry in the Air Eau de Parfum
A sugary, fizzy cherry burst that captured hearts then dashed hopes. Everyone's kicking themselves for not stocking up this discontinued gem. It's not complex, but what it does it does well, though some found it frustratingly fleeting or too artificial.
Favourite
Our Verdict - In Control Curious Eau de Parfum
This forgotten gem from Britney Spears 'In Control Curious' is a sweet and musky vanilla dream, adored by many for its dark and seductive depth which is sometimes compared to niche perfumes but largely, it is an underperforming crowd-pleaser that is definitely worth the hunt.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cherry in the Air Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and often-cited poor longevity make it unsuitable for formal events. The fresh, fun, and light character aligns perfectly with casual outings and even sport, but it's a bit too sweet and playful for a professional office setting.

In Control Curious Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet and musky gourmand profile, coupled with frequent mentions of being a 'date night' scent, makes it perfect for romantic evenings or casual wear. While it's generally not overpowering, its sweetness might be a bit much for a formal office setting. Unfortunately, many reviews note poor longevity and projection, making it more suited for intimate or casual situations where reapplication is easy.
