Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a timeless charmer, harking back to an earlier era but still completely relevant. It’s discreetly elegant, surprisingly good value, and won't offend a soul.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and discreet, unassuming character make it ideal for the office or formal settings where you want to smell refined without shouting. While it can be worn casually, its classy feel lends itself better to more composed situations.
