Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Arden Beauty Eau de Parfum
An absolute bargain hidden under your nose. Arden Beauty is a clean, fresh, and gentle floral-green that punches way above its price point. It's truly an unsung hero, a quiet crowd-pleaser that smells far more expensive than it is.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Hakka Eau de Parfum
Prepare for a blast of mint that polarises opinion. Some find it a 'mouthwash' or 'medicinal cream' horror, others revel in its cooling, vibrant green freshness. It's certainly unique, but definitely sample before you commit.

Hakka Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its intensely fresh and cooling character, particularly the strong mint opening, makes it excellent for casual and sport wear, especially in hot weather. However, the divisive scent profile and potential for strong projection in some wearers mean it's less suitable for formal or date settings, and only moderately acceptable for office environments where subtlety is often key.
