Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flora Bella Eau de Parfum

Flora Bella is a love-it-or-hate-it floral bomb. Some find its dense, tropical bouquet intoxicating and sophisticated, others recoil from its intense sweet, powdery character and claim it causes headaches. Definitely not a blind buy.

Acquired

Our Verdict - 5th Avenue Eau de Parfum

A divisive floral classic that people love for its sophisticated charm or dismiss for its perceived cheapness. Expect a clean, elegant scent, but be warned: reformulations mean many find it's lost its former beast-mode glory.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for office wear, where it might be overwhelming. However, its rich floral blend and exotic character lend themselves well to dates and more formal outings, particularly in warmer climates where it truly shines according to many reviewers.

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Formal

Also Works:

Date

Its clean, inoffensive floral profile makes it ideal for office and casual wear. Despite some finding it perfect for formal events, mentions of its weaker modern performance mean it's unlikely to be a showstopper for a big night out.
