Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
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.
