Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Castley Eau de Parfum

Castley is PDM's fresh, peppery office all-rounder. Love it or hate it, many find it a compelling, modern everyday scent. Despite the online drama, it’s a solid performer that elevates your day, though for some, it’s just another expensive, safe freshie.

Our Verdict - Un Jardin Apres la Mousson Eau de Parfum

This is Herme's take on a post-downpour garden. It's surprisingly divisive- either a masterclass in refreshing spice and petrichor or a bizarre melon and curry mishmash. Definitely try before you buy; it's a 'love it or hate it' kind of scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Castley Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its fresh spicy and citrus accords, combined with consistent community feedback on its suitability for professional settings, make it an excellent office and casual wear. While it has good performance, it remains inoffensive enough for various occasions, though perhaps a bit too energetic for truly formal events.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, aquatic, and aromatic profile makes it excellent for casual wear and warmer weather activities. While some find it too unique for the office, its moderate sillage means it won't overpower, making it acceptable for less formal work environments. Its evocative nature is also suited for date nights where you want to stand out subtly.
