Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Tulipe EDP
A luminous, watery floral that perfectly captures the optimism and clarity of early spring. La Tulipe is the embodiment of dewy petals, green stems, and lightness itself, ideal for those who crave understated beauty.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Private Collection EDP
A legendary green floral from the 70s, Private Collection is a divisive scent: you'll either love its crisp, retro elegance and confident swagger, or find it a bit too sharp and 'vintage'. It’s an acquired taste for some, but a timeless masterpiece for others.

Season and Occasion Fit

La Tulipe

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

La Tulipe blossoms in spring with its dewy, fresh floral and green notes that evoke the first blooms of the season. Its transparent, airy character makes it ideal for mild to warm days, but it may feel too light and fleeting for winter or late fall.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its gentle projection and clean floral-green transparency make it perfect for office and casual wear, as it never overwhelms. The scent’s refined freshness is suitable for daytime dates but lacks the opulence or presence for formal evening events.

Private Collection

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal

Often described as 'professional' and lending 'confidence', its bold green floral character makes it highly suited for office and formal wear. Whilst some find it suitable for summer, its strong sillage and complex profile make it less ideal for casual outings or intimate dates where a subtler scent is often preferred.
