Which Should You Buy?
A Guerlain for the masses, La Petite Robe Noire EDT is either a crowd-pleasing, fresh cherry dream or a synthetic, headache-inducing scrubber. Its lighter touch compared to the EDP makes it versatile, but polarising enough to make a blind buy risky.
A fleeting, pretty, fresh floral with crisp apple notes, Noa L'Eau is a beautiful summer breeze. Just don't expect it to last longer than a quick dash outside - it's a weak performer that will vanish before you know it.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its lighter EDT formulation and fresh,fruity accords make it suitable for casual wear and even office, provided it's not oversprayed. While some find it too 'girly' for formal events, its elegance can work for a date, though longevity might be a concern.
Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Its extreme lightness and fresh, inoffensive character make it ideal for casual wear and the office, where strong perfumes are a no-go. However, its poor longevity and sillage mean it's not suitable for occasions requiring a lasting presence or bolder statement, like dates or formal events.
