Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Casmir
Casmir is a seriously polarising scent: a spiced peach vanilla bomb that some find comforting and luxurious, while others get synthetic fruit, plastic, or even nail polish remover. If you're after a warm, oriental vanilla with a tropical twist, track down a vintage bottle, as the modern juice is apparently a shadow of its former self.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Iris Violet
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some find it a vibrant, fruity iris dream with beast-mode performance; others get a synthetic, headache-inducing mess. Definitely sample first, as it's not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Casmir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and sweet, warm profile make it less suitable for the office, where it could be overwhelming. However, for dates and casual wear, especially in cooler weather, it provides a comforting and sensual aura. For formal events, it might be a bit too heavy unless applied sparingly.

Iris Violet

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent sillage and sweet, fruity nature make it too attention-grabbing for a professional office setting. However, its bold character and warm drydown are well-suited for dates and more casual evening wear, though some might find it too intense for formal events.
