Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - So Scandal! EDP
This one's a divisive beast. For some, it's a creamy, fruity dream, a sophisticated white floral that garners endless compliments. For others, it's a bubblegum-sweet, synthetic headache-inducer that belongs in the bargain bin. Love it or hate it, many lament its rumoured discontinuation.

Our Verdict - Happy Hour EDP
Happy Hour is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, joyful fruity floral with a unique cranberry note, while others are disappointed by its perceived linearity, weak performance, or 'fabric softener' vibe. It's a scent that sparks debate, rather than universal adoration.

Season and Occasion Fit

So Scandal!

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong projection and longevity, it's best reserved for social settings where its bold character can shine without overwhelming. It leans heavily towards dates and nights out due to its sensual and attention-grabbing nature, though it could work casually for those who like to stand out. It's too much for the office or a gym session.

Happy Hour

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its generally inoffensive, airy floral-fruity profile makes it suitable for office wear, especially given its intimate sillage. The fun and upbeat character suits casual outings perfectly, though its lack of strong projection and formal gravitas means it's less ideal for formal events or impactful dates.
