Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 1872 Mandarin Parfum
This one's a head-scratcher. It's a fresh, pleasant citrus that doesn't quite justify its price tag, leading to a divisive opinion among some, particularly around its unisex billing. You'll either shrug or be mildly annoyed.

Our Verdict - White Rose & Lemon Leaves EDT
A bright, dewy white rose cut with sharp green lemon - a fresh, polished, distinctly British floral that opens loud and citrusy before settling into a clean, never-dusty rose. Prized as one of the most pristine white roses on the niche shelf; the chief gripe is soft, short-lived performance.

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile makes it a safe bet for the office or casual wear, though its lack of significant sillage might disappoint for formal events. The citrus and fresh accords lend themselves well to everyday use.

White Rose & Lemon Leaves

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A bright, dewy, green-citrus rose is a textbook spring and summer composition - wearers call it refreshing and bracing for warm weather, evoking a cool morning rose garden. Too light and fresh to carry through cold autumn or winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

The soft, clean, unobtrusive profile is ideal for office and casual daytime wear and pretty for a daytime date. Its quiet sillage and fresh-floral register make it too understated for formal evening occasions.
