Which Should You Buy?
A divisive citrus classic, Eau de Rochas splits opinion with its sharp, vintage charm. Some find it a refreshing summer essential, while others are put off by its 'old-school' or 'masculine' edge. Love it or hate it, it's certainly got character.
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.

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