Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a nostalgic, clean, and energising blast of citrus and green, while for others, it's a harsh, chemical mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Southern Bloom is a divisive floral-woody-powdery blend that some laud as unique and luxurious, while others dismiss it as a dated, overly sweet, or even 'urinal cake' mess. It's certainly not a safe blind buy; you'll either love its dense floral complexity or write it off completely.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and often described as 'professional' nature makes it ideal for the office and casual wear. The sharp opening and potentially divisive tomato leaf accord, combined with its strong projection, makes it less suitable for formal events or intimate dates.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
With its moderate to strong projection and woody-floral richness, it's best suited for evenings and social events. While some find it suitable for day wear, its intensity makes it less ideal for a quiet office or active sport.
