Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aromatics in White EDP

This isn't your mum's Aromatics Elixir, so don't expect it. It's a clean, musky rose-patchouli with a gentle powderiness that's divisive: some adore its subtle charm and creamy warmth, while others find it too mild or dated, wishing for more projection and longevity.

Our Verdict - Habanita L'Esprit EDP

This flanker of the iconic Habanita is a captivating shape-shifter. It's a powdery, musky embrace with a lemony kick that's earned itself a devoted following, though some find it a touch too 'baby powder gone wild'.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its soft projection and clean, musky accords make it perfect for office and casual wear without overwhelming. While elegant enough for formal settings, its intimate sillage might be lost in larger events. The musky-powdery nature isn't suited for active sport.

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its moderate sillage and soft, powdery character make it suitable for office wear without being overpowering.

While not a typical formal scent, it can work due to its sophistication, but it is entirely unsuitable for sport.
