Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jour d'Hermes Absolu Eau de Parfum

A truly divisive scent, Jour d'Hermes Absolu swings between sparkling elegance and sharp, sour disappointment. It's either a sun-drenched floral masterpiece or a grapefruit-heavy scrubber, depending entirely on your chemistry and nose. Approach with caution, but it might just be your next signature.

Our Verdict - Lily of the Valley Eau de Parfum

This lily of the valley scent is incredibly divisive. Some adore its photorealistic, green floral charm, finding it clean and elegant. Others? They're running for the hills, citing an 'old lady' vibe or a surprisingly strong, even 'murky' drydown. Try before you buy, unless you fancy smelling like a floral bomb.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its bright, fresh, and often described as 'clean' profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, though some find it 'loud'. For dates, it's considered appealing and intimate by many, but its intensity could be too much for formal settings. The longevity and sillage, while lauded, reduce its 'sport' applicability.

Spring

Also Works:

Summer

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

Occasions

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Its potent floral and green accords, combined with reports of strong sillage, make it less suitable for a discreet office setting but perfectly acceptable for daytime casual wear. The classic, elegant character also lends itself well to formal events, though perhaps too traditional for some dating scenarios.
