Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rainbow Fantasy EDP
Seriously divisive, mainly due to its terrible longevity. If you can get it for a steal, or manage to find a rare bottle that lasts, you're in for a sweet, airy treat. Otherwise, save your money.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rainbow Fantasy

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its sweet, light, and airy nature with an aquatic touch makes it great for casual wear, especially in warmer weather. However, the notoriously poor longevity means it struggles to make an impact for formal events or longer occasions, and the sweetness can be a bit much for the office. It's a 'spray and go' kind of scent, perfect for daytime activities.

Colourful Dream

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Reach for it across autumn and winter, where the oud signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

This one suits evening and daily settings; the easy, cosy character keeps it versatile for formal rotation too.
