Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - French Kiss
This raspberry-kissed, powdery floral is a divisive affair. Some find it a beautifully girly, sophisticated confection, while others are left cold by its sweet, plasticky 'doll' head vibe and fleeting presence. Try before you buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Pleasures Bloom
A divisive floral-fruity, Pleasures Bloom really hits for some, offering a fresh, bright take on the original. For others, it's a screechy, headache-inducing disaster. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

French Kiss

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its soft sillage and playful, sweet character make it suitable for intimate dates or casual outings without being overpowering. While some find it too 'girly' for formal events, its elegance can work, but the poor longevity and soft projection might hinder its effectiveness in louder environments.

Pleasures Bloom

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its moderate sillage and fresh, clean floral-fruity profile make it a good choice for casual wear and the office, where subtlety is often appreciated. However, some find it overwhelms them, suggesting it's not a universal office pleaser. It's too light for formal events but the fresh notes could work for light activity.
