Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hanamizake EDP
This one's a proper mood-setter - a fleeting, ethereal trip to cherry blossom season, with a boozy kick. It's a love-it-or-leave-it scent, often praised for its unique charm but criticised for its weak performance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Royal Rose EDP
A truly polarising scent experience. If you love a rich, complex Taif rose and aren't afraid of a smoky, powdery incense backbone, this could be your surprisingly sophisticated dark horse. Otherwise, it might just be too much.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hanamizake

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its intimate sillage and delicate nature make it ideal for casual wear and suitable for the office where strong scents are a no-go. The clean, floral character also works well for dates, though it might be too subtle for formal events or sports.

Royal Rose

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its striking and strong scent profile, with powdery, smoky, and amber accords, makes it a bit too bold for an everyday office environment, though some find it elegant enough for formal events. The sensual rose and incense notes lend themselves well to cooler-weather date nights, but it's far too heavy for casual warm-weather wear or sport.
