Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pretty in Purple
This one's a Jekyll and Hyde. Some reckon it's a sweet, fruity floral that's a joy to wear, while others can't get past zero longevity. It depends if your skin chemistry plays ball, as it can be a beast or a fleeting whisper.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Eau de Couture
Cher's Eau de Couture is a divisive beast: some hail it as a masterclass in classic perfumery, a glorious throwback to the 80s powerhouse scents, whilst others recoil from its 'nuclear' powder and soapiness. You'll either love it or actively flee.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pretty in Purple

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date Sport

Its versatile sweet-floral profile and mixed longevity mean it's best suited for casual wear, though a date wouldn't be out of the question. It's often described as an 'everyday' scent, light enough for errands but not quite making the cut for formal events or a conservative office environment.

Eau de Couture

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its dominant warm spicy and white floral accords, make it too overwhelming for an office setting. However, its strong, sophisticated character is perfect for formal events and colder weather dates. It's a bit much for casual wear, largely due to its intensity.
