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 one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either adore its realistic lilac or find it too sharp and fleeting. If you're after a true-to-life lilac and don't mind reapplying often, it's worth a sniff. Otherwise, brace for potential disappointment.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
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.
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its fresh, floral-green character makes it perfect for casual daytime wear, leaning towards spring and summer. The generally poor longevity and intimate projection mean it's unlikely to offend in an office but won't make a statement at formal events.
