Which Should You Buy?

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.

Statement

Our Verdict - Brown Orchid Gold Edition Eau de Parfum

Seriously polarising, expect a love-it-or-hate-it reaction. This one's a bold, heady beast that refuses to blend in, so wear it when you're feeling a bit extra.

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.
