Which Should You Buy?
This flanker shares zero DNA with the original Amarige, so don't be fooled by the name. It's a divisive scent, some find it a gorgeous, clean scent reminiscent of fresh sweet peas, while others recoil from its sharp, sour opening. You'll either love it or hate it, so sample first.
Compiled from Yardley's own product notes (part of the Modern Classics Floral range, 94% natural, vegan and cruelty-free) and retailer listings (Amazon.co.uk, Boots): a fruity mandarin-pear-rhubarb-cassis opening blooming into a tropical frangipani-led floral heart, closing on sandalwood, amber and white musk.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'light and airy' character make it suitable for office wear and casual outings without being overpowering. The overall clean, floral nature lends itself well to daytime use, but isn't quite bold or formal enough for grand events.
Seasons
The tropical frangipani-led floral heart and fruity opening evoke warm-weather wear, best suited to spring and summer rather than heavy winter use.
Occasions
The lush, exotic tropical-floral character suits dates and casual warm-weather wear well, though its indulgent character is a less obvious choice for the office.
