Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Songes Eau de Parfum
Divisive but captivating, Songes is a dreamlike tropical floral that doesn't shy away from its animalic edge. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but for those it clicks with, it's a rich, sophisticated love affair.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hibiscus Palm Eau de Parfum
This is your one-way ticket to a luxury tropical resort in a bottle. While it's a fan favourite for capturing an elevated, non-sunscreen-y holiday vibe, some find its yellow floral character a bit dated or too overtly sweet for their taste. Definitely one to try before you buy, especially given its beast-mode projection.

Season and Occasion Fit

Songes Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection, substantial longevity, and rich, occasionally indolic floral profile, Songes leans more towards special occasions. It's too bold and diffusive for most office environments but perfectly suited for a romantic date or a sophisticated evening event. Its tropical nuances also make it suitable for warm weather casual wear, but only with a light hand.

Hibiscus Palm 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
Also Works:
Formal

Its strong projection and tropical character make it a bit much for the office but perfect for casual holiday wear and dates. While elegant, it's perhaps too 'vacation chic' for truly formal events.
