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's a bit of a mixed bag; some rave about its natural lilac purity, others are left wanting more. If you're a lilac fiend seeking a simple, fresh bloom, you might just find your cheap thrill, but don't expect sophistication or staying power.

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, light floral nature and weak projection make it perfect for casual wear, akin to a body spray. While it's too subtle for formal events, it's generally office-safe and suitable for light activities if you don't mind reapplying.
