Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - D&G Anthology La Lune 18 Eau de Parfum

La Lune is a divisive, understated floral, a 'your skin but better' scent. Many love its subtle elegance for daily wear, but equal numbers find its performance severely lacking and the composition uninspiring.

Our Verdict - White Shoulders Eau de Parfum

White Shoulders is a divisive classic. It's either an iconic, beautiful white floral with a vintage allure, or an "old lady" scent with an overpowering, synthetic edge. You'll either adore its soapy, clean bouquet or be utterly repulsed; there's little middle ground.

Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its generally weak sillage and poor longevity make it perfect for office or casual wear where you don't want to overpower. Reviewers often mention it's a 'safe' or 'inoffensive' choice for daily use, acting almost like a cologne due to its lightness.

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its bold floral profile means it can be a bit much for the office if oversprayed, but its clean, classic character makes it versatile. It's often associated with feminine elegance, suitable for both casual wear and more formal events, especially considering many wear it as a comforting, everyday scent.
