Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hermessence Cedre Sambac EDT
This one's a proper chameleon. Some love its creamy, indolic jasmine and smooth cedar, while others bemoan a plasticky note or a glaring lack of discernible cedar. It's a divisive brew, not for blind buys, and definitely one to test on your own skin.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Nº23 Merope Love EDP
This one is a divisive floral beast - you'll either love its intense, sweet cloud or find it utterly overwhelming. Definitely not a safe blind-buy; try before you commit to this bold rose statement.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hermessence Cedre Sambac

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile for daily wear, though its sophisticated, clean character lends itself well to casual and date settings. The creamy white florals and woody base prevent it from being a powerhouse, keeping it appropriate for office wear too.

Nº23 Merope Love

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong floral character and potential for being 'cloying and heavy' as described by a reviewer, this fragrance isn't ideal for the office or casual settings where subtlety is preferred. It's better suited for evenings out or more formal events where its boldness can shine without overwhelming.
