Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fidji
This legendary green floral is a time capsule, evocative of a certain era. Whether it's a nostalgic trip or a fresh discovery, Fidji is a quintessential classic despite reformulations dampening its original strength. A love-it-or-leave-it kind of scent thanks to its distinct vintage vibe.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lauder
This 80s powerhouse is a divisive beast, lauded by some as a "masterpiece" and a "sleeping giant," while others find it "dated" and akin to "grandma's floral soap." It's an undeniable classic, but approach with caution if modern sensibilities are your thing.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fidji

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate projection and fresh, clean character make it versatile for most daytime settings, including the office, but its subtle nature may get lost in very formal evening events. Many consider it an everyday wear, perfect for casual outings or a relaxed office environment.

Lauder

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its strong projection and classic, opulent character make it more suited for formal and date settings, where its rich aroma can shine without overwhelming. While some find it acceptable for the office in small doses, its powerful nature might be too much for casual wear, or certainly sport.
