Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure Crystal Eau de Parfum

This one's a bit of a chameleon, shifting from juicy berries and booze to a cosy, spicy cuddle. Some find it a bit timid initially, but give it time to bloom, and you'll get a delightful, intimate scent that punches above its price point.

Our Verdict - S'Il Vous Play Eau de Parfum

Francesca Dell'Oro's S'Il Vous Play is a complex, evolving scent that playfully balances spice, citrus, and a warm, almost gourmand sweetness. Fair warning though, if you're not into powdery drydowns or that 'gingerbread on a tree stump' vibe, it might not be for you.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pure Crystal Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its sweet, spicy, and boozy profile makes it perfect for date nights and colder weather, as noted by several reviewers. It's a bit too rich and intimate for a typical office setting, but could work for casual evening wear. Performance seems moderate, keeping it from being overwhelming for slightly more formal gatherings.

S'Il Vous Play Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and intriguing scent profile make it excellent for dates or casual outings where you want to stand out subtly. However, the unique, sometimes 'gingerbread-like' gourmand nuances and powdery aspects might be a bit too much for a formal setting or an office environment.
