Our Verdict

While both aim for a cannabis-centric aromatic experience, Cannabis Blue stands out with its pungently realistic, almost overwhelming cannabis note. Posh Mirage offers a greener, woodier interpretation, a far cry from the real deal. This makes Cannabis Blue a bold statement, while Posh Mirage is a muted whisper. Price is also a major factor: Cannabis Blue is ultra-luxury, while Posh Mirage is budget-friendly. If you want authentic cannabis, go A. If you want a green, woody take on the cannabis theme at a bargain, go B.

Which Should You Buy?

Choose Cannabis Blue if...
  • You want a photorealistic cannabis fragrance.
  • You appreciate bold, challenging scents.
  • Price is no object for uniqueness.
  • You want strong performance and projection.
Choose Posh Mirage if...
  • You prefer a subtle cannabis interpretation.
  • You want a budget-friendly alternative.
  • You enjoy green, woody fragrances.
  • You want something less polarizing.
Our Verdict - Cannabis Blue EDP
This is a fiercely divisive fragrance. You'll either love its intensely realistic cannabis note or find it utterly unwearable, like some sort of bizarre botanical prank. It's unequivocally bold, but not for the faint-hearted or those who prefer subtlety.
Statement
Our Verdict - Posh Mirage EDP
This one's a bit of an acquired taste, and definitely not for blind buys. It attempts a cannabis vibe, but lands somewhere greener and woodier - don't expect a true hit. Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably niche.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cannabis Blue

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Given its strong projection and the prominent, unique cannabis note, this isn't suitable for formal or office settings where it might cause a stir. It's best suited for casual nights out or specific date scenarios where its edgy character can shine without overwhelming those around you.

Posh Mirage

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Given its strong, unique character and dominant woody-aromatic accords, this fragrance is best suited for casual or date settings where it can stand out. It's too distinctive and potentially polarising for formal situations or the office, and certainly not for sport.
