Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet Plum Eau de Parfum

Don't let the name fool you - skip the fruit aisle entirely. This is a divisive, leathery, woody, powdery enigma that some adore for its unique sophistication, while others find it just plain baffling.

Our Verdict - D&G Anthology La Temperance 14 Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper British conundrum - lovely, soft, and classy, but about as long-lasting as a summer fling. It's a skin scent that disappears quicker than your paycheque, which is a real shame given its gorgeous, comforting aroma. A quiet charmer, if you don't mind reapplying constantly.

Season and Occasion Fit

Velvet Plum Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its moderate projection and unique, sophisticated profile make it suitable for dates and formal events, leaving a memorable impression without overpowering. The prominent woody and leathery facets, alongside its cozy nature, also lend themselves well to upscale casual wear, but steer clear of the gym.

D&G Anthology La Temperance 14 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Its gentle sillage and poor longevity make it perfect for office wear or casual settings where you want something inoffensive. It's too subtle for a formal event or a date where you want to make a statement, and completely unsuitable for sport due to its delicate nature.
