Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Not A Perfume EDP

A skin-scent for minimalists and scent-shy, Not A Perfume is the ultimate in modern understated elegance. Its pure, hypoallergenic formula is both easygoing and quietly magnetic.

Our Verdict - Celestia Blu EDP

This budget-friendly clone of "Office for Men" is a real mixed bag. Some rave about its fresh, clean scent and value, while others find it unremarkable with weak performance. If you're after a cheap thrill that might just hit the spot, give it a go, but don't expect miracles.

Season and Occasion Fit

Not A Perfume

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

Its clean, airy and minimalist amber-woody-musk character is ideal for spring and summer, never cloying or heavy. It lacks warmth or density for winter's cold, but can feel crisp and inviting on mild autumn days.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual Sport

With subtle projection, hypoallergenic composition, and a neutral, universally pleasant scent, it's perfect for office, casual, or active settings. Too understated for most formal events but effortlessly clean for daily use.

Celestia Blu

Seasons

Best For:

Summer

Also Works:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, though some report weaker performance, making it less disruptive. It's too light for formal events and only moderately appealing for dates given the lack of unique depth.
