Which Should You Buy?
A luminous, dewy rose wrapped in nectar and honey - modern, romantic and quietly sensual, this is a fresh floral done with real character and softness. Perfect for springtime optimism or dreamy, radiant dates.
This one's a wildcard - you'll either adore its juicy, aquatic fruit cocktail or be repulsed by an unexpected sour, almost industrial funk. Definitely test before you commit, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The honeyed rose and aquatic notes make this shine in spring and summer, offering freshness with a lush sweetness. Its fruit and floral heart is less suited for winter's depth but works beautifully in mild, blossoming weather.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and inviting, romantic sweetness make it ideal for dates or daytime wear. The clean aquatic undertone suits office and casual settings, while the honeyed, floral richness is less formal and not designed for gym or sport.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its lighter projection means it's pretty versatile, leaning casual for daytime summer wear. The freshness makes it good for sport, but the distinctive, sometimes challenging ambergris makes it less of a formal choice.
