Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Samsara EDP
A legendary scent that's loved, longed for, and occasionally loathed. Vintage bottles are considered masterpieces, while newer formulations are seen as a shadow of their former glory. It's truly a perfume that transcends mere fragrance, provoking strong emotional connections.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Greenwich For Women EDP
A budget take on Elizabeth Arden's 5th Avenue. Greenwich captures that airy, luminous linden-and-lilac opening over a classic jasmine-tuberose floral heart and soft vanilla-musk base. Reviews are mixed - some find it close, others flag an extra sweetness not in the elegant original - but the sophisticated floral shape is recognisable.

Season and Occasion Fit

Samsara

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and remarkable longevity, Samsara is best suited for evenings and special occasions where its rich complexity can shine without overwhelming. It's too potent for casual daily wear or the office, but perfect for making a memorable impression on a date or at a formal event.

Greenwich For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

The airy linden-led florals make this a refined scent for spring and autumn, a little soft for high summer and not rich enough for deep winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Elegant, restrained and close-wearing - ideal for the office, daily wear and dates, polished enough to edge into formal; too soft for sport.
