Which Should You Buy?
Lovestory is a bergamot-and-lemon citrus opening over damask rose and lily, finishing on cedar and patchouli. A polished rose-citrus for daytime and date wear, more refined than playful.
A legendary summer citrus, Terre d'Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche is a divisive but ultimately beloved 'freshie' that nails natural orange better than most. Despite its discontinuation, the hype is real for this invigorating scent, making it a must-have for warm weather. Expect some to find it 'sweaty' though - sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Bergamot, lemon, and damask rose open bright for spring; cedar and patchouli give just enough warmth for fall. Not rich enough for winter or fresh enough for peak summer.
Occasions
A polished rose-citrus with moderate projection fits date and casual wear best; office-safe, but the rose lift keeps it off the formal evening shelf. Sport use is out.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, light projection and moderate longevity make it ideal for casual wear, office settings, and sport without overpowering. While suitable for a daytime date, its lack of 'formal heft' means it won't shine for evening events, as it's primarily a warm-weather, outdoor scent.
