Which Should You Buy?
This is a gorgeous, pure violet that'll transport you straight to a spring garden. There's some grumbling about recent reformulations, but the original is widely hailed as a violet masterpiece - just don't expect it to last forever.
This is a clean, green, realistic floral that gets a bit soapy and melancholic for some, and a public loo cleaner for others. Definitely one to sample first, as it's a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its gentle sillage and natural, fresh floral profile make it perfect for casual wear or the office, where it won't offend. The fleeting longevity, however, and classic innocent vibe mean it might be too subtle for formal events or a big night out.
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its moderate longevity and close sillage make it ideal for office wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While some find it romantic, its clean and green character, along with reports of soapy undertones, don't scream 'date night'.
