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.
A budget take on Elizabeth Arden's 5th Avenue. Greenwich captures that airy, luminous linden-and-lilac opening over a classic jasmine-tuberose floral heart and soft vanilla-musk base. Reviews are mixed - some find it close, others flag an extra sweetness not in the elegant original - but the sophisticated floral shape is recognisable.

Performance
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
The airy linden-led florals make this a refined scent for spring and autumn, a little soft for high summer and not rich enough for deep winter.
Occasions
Elegant, restrained and close-wearing - ideal for the office, daily wear and dates, polished enough to edge into formal; too soft for sport.
