Which Should You Buy?
A legendary green floral from the 90s, Parfum d'Ete is adored for its fresh, dewy garden scent - but only the vintage, original formulation. Don't touch the newer stuff, it's a travesty.
A truly polarising classic that splits opinion between utterly gorgeous, nostalgic clean florals and headache-inducing 'old lady' soap. It's a risk, but it could be your next signature.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its soft, clean, and sometimes 'soapy' character makes it great for casual wear, often mentioned as a bedtime or post-shower scent. While its vintage elegance could suit some formal events, its moderate sillage and 'old-fashioned' perception might not make it a first choice for modern formal settings or very active pursuits. Many mention it's office safe due to its clean nature, but others find it too strong, so a mid-range score applies.
