Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Colette Eau de Parfum

A divisive scent for sure: some get ethereal lemon and pine, others get fleeting whispers of 'lemon pound cake' or 'bug spray'. Its main issue is abysmal performance; many find it disappears almost immediately. Love it? Be prepared to bathe in it. Hate it? You're probably just smelling thin air anyway.

Our Verdict - Vanesia Eau de Parfum

Initially, Vanesia might trick you with a vintage violet blast, but give it time. This develops into a seriously elegant, powdery-sweet skin scent that’s understated but absolutely captivating.

Season and Occasion Fit

Colette Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its extremely light projection makes it ideal for office, casual, and even sport where stronger scents are inappropriate. It's also pleasant for dates due to its intimate nature. However, the delicate silage won't stand out in formal settings and it's too cozy for high-energy fitness.

Vanesia Eau de Parfum

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 Formal

Its moderate projection and generally pleasant, clean accords make it suitable for daily wear, especially in an office setting after the initial floral burst. The cosy dry down is perfect for casual settings, though it might lack the gravitas for a formal event.
