Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Insignia Ermine
This one's a proper beast, not for the delicate. If you're after a fragrance that screams 'I've arrived' and lasts till next Tuesday, this musky, fruity-gourmand powerhouse is your ticket. But be warned, it's notorious for giving people headaches, so approach with caution.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Banana Split
This one's a proper sweet shop riot that'll divide the room. Some will swoon over the candied banana and creamy vanilla, others will pick up on a 'rubbery' note and give it a hard pass. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Insignia Ermine

Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its immense longevity and fierce projection make it a poor fit for office or daily casual wear, where it would overwhelm. However, its bold nature could work for a statement date night or a formal event if applied very sparingly, as it's definitely not subtle.

Banana Split

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent sweetness and strong projection make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its fun, fruity gourmand character makes it an excellent choice for casual wear and dates, where its presence can be appreciated without being overwhelming.
