Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Woman EDP
Understated but instantly recognizable, Boss Woman is the archetype of clean, professional femininity. Mango-freesia freshness rides over a soft woody base, perfect for those who want to feel poised, composed and quietly distinctive.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Iceberg Effusion Woman EDT
This early noughties scent is a proper divisive one. Some find its tart, spicy woodiness compellingly unique and fresh, while others are met with sour, harsh notes that vanish too quickly or linger like a cheap air freshener. Buyer beware: this one can be an absolute gamble.

Season and Occasion Fit

Boss Woman

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

The crisp mango, freesia and citrus make this a natural fit for spring, with enough freshness for summer. The light woody base can carry into fall, but lacks the density for winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, subtle projection and inoffensive floral-fruity profile are ideal for office and casual wear. It's versatile and unintrusive, working well for light sports or daytime dates, but is not quite dressy enough for formal occasions.

Iceberg Effusion Woman

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its sharp, fresh spiciness and variable longevity make it less suitable for formal or intimate date settings. It sits best in casual or sporty contexts, where its invigorating and somewhat unique profile can shine without being overpowering, especially considering its 'good for daily due to its cheap price' appeal.
