Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Noir EDP
Rose Noir is a divisive one. There's a brilliant, moody rose and moss core for some, while for others, it's a sour, fleeting mess. Not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing - your chemistry may vary wildly.
Statement
Our Verdict - Absolute Woman EDP
This budget-friendly fruity-floral is a divisive one. Many find it generic and synthetic, a 'cheapie' best for younger wearers or days at home. Some appreciate its elegance, but it struggles to stand out in a crowded market of similar scents.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rose Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, sensual character, along with reports of decent sillage and longevity from some wearers, makes it an unsuitable choice for the office. However, its sophisticated and mysterious aura is perfectly suited for date nights and special evening events.

Absolute Woman

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its sweet, fruity character makes it suitable for casual wear and daily use. While some find it elegant enough for a date, its perceived synthetic nature and lack of strong longevity might not make it ideal for formal events.
