Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mimosa & Cardamom EDC
This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either adore its warm, powdery mimosa charm making it an 'uncommon crowd-pleaser' or find yourself battling an unexpected 'baby wipes and disappointment' vibe. It's sunshine and spice, but for some, just spice.

Our Verdict - El Capitán
A warm spicy wonder that's beautiful all-round, according to early whispers. This one's looking like a crowd-pleaser before it even properly drops.

Season and Occasion Fit

Mimosa & Cardamom

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its soft sillage and calm demeanour make it perfect for casual wear and office settings where it won't offend. However, a divisive 'body lotion' or 'baby wipes' feeling, along with limited longevity for some, makes it less ideal for formal events or sports.

El Capitán

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its warm, spicy and aromatic profile, especially with the vanilla and tonka in the base, makes it ideal for dates and evening events. While not overly strong, the distinct spicy and powdery accords could be a bit much for a conservative office environment.
