Which Should You Buy?
A legendary green floral from the 70s, Private Collection is a divisive scent: you'll either love its crisp, retro elegance and confident swagger, or find it a bit too sharp and 'vintage'. It’s an acquired taste for some, but a timeless masterpiece for others.
This one absolutely nails the 'flower shop' vibe. It's an uplifting, fresh green floral that captures the scent of freshly cut stems and bright blooms. Easily a crowd-pleaser for anyone after a natural, airy floral scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Often described as 'professional' and lending 'confidence', its bold green floral character makes it highly suited for office and formal wear. Whilst some find it suitable for summer, its strong sillage and complex profile make it less ideal for casual outings or intimate dates where a subtler scent is often preferred.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and airy profile makes it ideal for casual wear and suitable for the office where it won't overwhelm. While it might lean too casual for very formal events, its pleasant nature makes it a safe bet for a relaxed date or even light activity.
