Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Eau de Parfum

This 80s powerhouse is a total blast from the past, though not without its detractors. Love it or hate it, Red is a force of nature - a bold, spicy cherry bomb that commands attention. Go easy on the trigger; a little goes a very long way.

Our Verdict - Brown Orchid Eau de Parfum

This one is a divisive cheapie, trying its hand at replicating a pricier predecessor. It might tolerate your skin better than others, but don't expect it to last for an all-day affair. Use it wisely, and only in the dreariest of weather.

Season and Occasion Fit

Red Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it unsuitable for an office setting, as many reviews highlight its 'too much' quality. The rich, sensual accords and strong sillage are perfect for dates and formal events, though some find it acceptable for casual wear with careful application.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and sweet profile make it less suitable for the office. However, the dark, woody and amber accords lend themselves to evening wear, particularly in colder weather for both dates and formal events, as reflected in community reviews suggesting winter use.
