Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Diamonds and Sapphires
This 90s gem is a divisive scent experience, but a true cheapie powerhouse. Some find it a delightful, vibrant melon aquatic, others a headache-inducing synthetic nightmare. Approach with caution, but if it works for you, it's an absolute steal for day-to-day wear.
Statement
Our Verdict - Quartz
Quartz is a divisive classic, a love-it-or-hate-it green chypre that's either 'heaven in a bottle' or 'bugspray'. It's a proper grown-up scent, confident and complex, not for the faint of heart or those who prefer modern gourmands.

Season and Occasion Fit

Diamonds and Sapphires

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual and hot weather wear, according to many reviews. However, the strong projection and potential for being overwhelming, as noted by several users, lowers its suitability for formal settings and the office.

Quartz

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and clean, fresh character make it ideal for office and casual wear, as noted by several reviewers. It's a bit too 'serious' and potentially polarising for formal events, and definitely not suited for sport due to its lack of typical 'sporty' notes.
