Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Simply Clinique EDP
This discontinued gem is proper divisive; a love-it-or-hate-it affair, yet those who love it are practically begging Clinique to bring it back. It's truly unique, playing with creamy, watery, and subtly spicy notes that some find comforting and others just plain weird.
Acquired
Our Verdict - First Date EDT
If sweet, syrupy gourmands are your jam, this will hit that craving beautifully. It's a bold, sensual scent designed to get you noticed, not for the faint of heart, but a surefire crowd-pleaser for those who love their fragrances decadent and delicious.

Season and Occasion Fit

Simply Clinique

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its soft, comforting profile and moderate sillage make it suitable for casual wear or the office, where it won't overwhelm. While unique, it's not overtly 'sexy' for all date scenarios, and the creamy sweetness might be out of place in very formal settings.

First Date

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its intensely sweet and syrupy gourmand profile, along with a 'sensual and sticky' projection noted by reviewers, makes it far too bold for office wear or formal events. It's perfectly suited for dates or cooler-weather casual outings where its decadent scent can truly shine.
