Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pleasures
A divisive floral powerhouse, Pleasures is either a timeless, clean classic or a screechy, headache-inducing scrubber. Its vibrant green-floral intensity makes it a love-it-or-hate-it scent with serious staying power.
Statement
Our Verdict - Peony
This is a simple, refreshing floral that sadly, is no longer with us. It was a perfect, inexpensive pick-me-up for sunny days, praised for its fresh, natural scent, though its fleeting nature meant you'd be re-spraying often.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pleasures

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its strong sillage and longevity mean it might be too much for the office if oversprayed, although some find it professional. Its classic, clean floral profile makes it versatile for casual outings and even formal events, while its intensity is ill-suited for sport.

Peony

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, light, and unobtrusive floral profile, coupled with its generally short longevity, makes it a prime candidate for casual wear and daily refreshers like after a shower or during light sport. It would be perfectly suitable for an office setting where something subtle is preferred, but lacks the longevity and gravitas for formal events or evening dates.
