Which Should You Buy?
A hyperrealistic jasmine tea that's got everyone chatting, Kilian Imperial Tea is a divisive stunner. Some find its photorealistic quality breathtaking, a true tea experience in a bottle. Others are less impressed, citing fleeting longevity and a linear composition for its premium price tag. You either love its delicate simplicity or you don't.
A divisive one, this. Geo. F. Trumper's San Remo Cologne is either a unique, refreshing green composition, or a peculiar floral-sweet scent that doesn't quite sit right. Definitely one to sample rather than blind buy, despite a loyal following.

Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and fresh, green character make it suitable for casual wear and daily use. While unique, it's perhaps a bit too distinctive for formal events, and its subtle nature doesn't scream 'date night'.
