Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - de Lacoste
A pleasant, fresh, and uncomplicated fruity floral that's either a delightful springtime treat or utterly forgettable, depending on your desire for projection and longevity. It's a safe bet for those who prefer subtle scents over statement fragrances.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Amethyst
A sugary explosion that leans into its gourmand nature with unabashed enthusiasm. If you're after a playful, fruity-sweet scent, Floris delivers a potent dose, though it might be too much for some.

Season and Occasion Fit

de Lacoste

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and light character makes it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it's unlikely to offend. The lack of strong projection and longevity, however, diminishes its suitability for dates or formal events where a more impactful scent is often desired. It performs well as an 'out of doors' scent, making it suitable for light sport.

Amethyst

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent sweetness and tropical leanings make Amethyst a standout for casual outings and dates where its playful character can shine. It would likely be too assertive for a formal event or the office environment.
