Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lust for Sun Eau de Parfum
Divisive doesn't even begin to cover it. You'll either love this blast of sun-soaked florals and creamy coconut, or you'll find it an overwhelming, synthetic mess. Sample before committing, unless you fancy smelling like a public toilet or an old shampoo.

Our Verdict - Orchid Eau de Parfum
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find its blended floral-vanilla profile sophisticated and subtle, while others dismiss it as bland and a tad generic. It's safe, yes, but not without its charms if you're after something less in-your-face.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lust for Sun Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport

Its potent floral and musky character, often described as 'in your face', is a bit much for the office. However, its summery, bold projection makes it ideal for casual outings, dates, and even sports where its 'clean girl' freshness can shine after the initial intensity wanes.

Orchid Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its balanced and subtle nature, especially when compared to more intense alternatives, makes it suitable for office and casual wear. It's versatile enough for a date, but perhaps a bit understated for very formal events. White florals generally aren't suited for sport.
