Which Should You Buy?
Carat is a divisive one: some adore its sparkling, fresh floral bouquet, others find it too sharp, synthetic, or just plain boring. If you fancy a spring garden in a bottle, give it a go, but expect a mixed bag of opinions.
This discontinued darling is a bona-fide crowd-pleaser, adored for its unique freshness. Prepare to pay through the nose if you want to relive this early 00s icon - the clamour for its return highlights its enduring appeal.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Carat's clean, fresh floral profile makes it excellent for office and casual wear, as it's generally inoffensive. While elegant enough for formal occasions, some find its sillage too intimate, which might underwhelm for a date or sporty event where more presence is desired.
