Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sun Moon Stars Eau de Parfum

This 90s Sophia Grojsman classic is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. While some adore its fruity-floral pow, others find it a screeching assault, or simply an old-fashioned scrubber. The gorgeous bottle remains a universal draw.

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.

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.
