Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Stella EDP
A modern classic that’s been cruelly discontinued, Stella is mourned by many as the ultimate rose. It's a fresh, elegant rose that manages to be both timeless and contemporary, though some find its performance fleeting.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Magnolia Violet EDP
This is a clean, fresh violet-magnolia scent, a surprisingly good dupe for pricier florals. It's safe, likeable, and a great pick for those seeking an affordable, non-toxic floral, though don't expect it to last for ages. Its 'clean girl' aesthetic is a hit.

Season and Occasion Fit

Stella

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its elegant and soft projection makes it suitable for office wear, though some find a lack of longevity needing reapplication. The romantic rose heart and warm amber base lend themselves perfectly to date nights, while its overall gentle nature can work for casual wear too. It might be too understated for grand formal events and definitely too delicate for sport.

Magnolia Violet

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and often 'shampoo-like' aroma makes it perfect for casual wear, office settings (due to its polite projection), and even after a workout. While pleasant for a date, its light nature means for formal events, it might get lost in the crowd.
