Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Versace Essence Exciting EDP
This 'Exciting Essence' is anything but; it's a perplexing floral green that leaves some cold and others nostalgic for its unique blend. Don't expect fireworks, but a surprisingly divisive fresh scent that's either 'nice' or 'nothing exciting'.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Gucci Bloom Acqua di Fiori EDT
A truly divisive green floral, Gucci Bloom Acqua di Fiori isn't a safe blind buy. Some find it a wonderfully refreshing rainy garden, others a harsh, 'dated' mess or just too green. Crucially, its fleeting performance is a dealbreaker for many.

Occasions

Best For:

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, light-to-moderate sillage and poor longevity make it perfectly suited for office wear and casual daytime activities where it won't overpower. Its lack of depth and limited staying power mean it's not ideal for dates or formal events.
