Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Himalayan Blue
Himalayan Blue is a divisive scent that's either a uniquely tranquil tea experience or a forgettable disappointment. If you're after something genuinely different and enjoy tea-centric fragrances, it's worth a sniff, but bypass if you're chasing the hand cream's magic.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Foresta Magica
A truly unique green, citrusy fragrance that masterfully balances a vibrant freshness with an intriguing, subtle depth. It's divisive; some love its complexity, while others find it a bit too much or too tart. Experience it for yourself to see if you're in the 'love' camp.

Season and Occasion Fit

Himalayan Blue

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

This EDT is often described as subtle and close-wearing, making it perfect for office environments or casual wear. Its unique tea and citrus profile, though, isn't typically suited for formal events or romantic dates, despite some noting it's refreshing for warm weather sport.

Foresta Magica

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, energetic, and slightly unique profile makes it highly versatile for casual wear and suitable for dates. While office-appropriate in moderation, its bolder character might be a bit much for very formal events. The fresh accords also make it a decent choice for sport, though some might find the woody base too heavy.
