Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Always Red Femme Eau de Toilette
A cheerfully vibrant fruity floral, Always Red Femme is a common-vibe crowd-pleaser that's perfect for chasing away the early spring blues. Don't expect groundbreaking complexity, but do expect compliments and a mood boost.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Cuba La Vida Eau de Parfum
A divisive dupe that promises La Vie Est Belle on a budget. This is all about the sweet fruit and patchouli, but its fleeting performance truly lets it down for many, despite the bargain price.

Season and Occasion Fit

Always Red Femme Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive fruity-floral profile make it suitable for casual wear and the office. It lacks the gravitas for formal events but its fresh, uplifting character is great for everyday activities and even a daytime casual date.

Cuba La Vida Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet, bold, and fruity nature makes it ideal for casual wear and dates, but its sometimes overwhelming strength and lack of longevity cited by many reviews make it less suitable for formal or office settings. The ease of reapplication due to its 'body spray' nature makes it perfect for on-the-go casual use.
