Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cabotine Eau de Parfum

Cabotine is a force of nature, a bold floral explosion that absolutely polarises opinion. Some love its vintage charm and potent sillage, others recoil from its 'old-fashioned' punch. It’s cheap 'n' cheerful, but divisive; you'll either adore its green, sweet power, or scrub it off in horror.

Our Verdict - 5th Avenue After Five Eau de Parfum

This flanker to the perennial 5th Avenue line is divisive. Some find its woody, musky floral blend an elegant, understated gem; others are left cold by what they perceive as a generic, fleeting 'shampoo' scent, or a 'furniture polish' nightmare. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind buy.

Cabotine Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date Casual

Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, but its celebratory floral character shines for formal events and even casual outings where you want to make a statement. The strong sillage means it might be too much for an intimate date, but a confident wearer can pull it off.

5th Avenue After Five Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Its moderate sillage and often-reported lighter longevity make it ideal for office wear, where it won't offend. Reviews suggest it's more of a daytime soft floral, making it less suitable for formal evening events or dates that demand a bolder statement. For a casual day it's a safe choice, but definitely not for sport.
