Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Taormina Orange Eau de Parfum
Tom Ford's Taormina Orange is a divisive return to form for the brand's freshies. You'll either love its naturalistic citrus and white floral blend, or find it a painfully generic, fleeting disappointment. Buyer beware, the performance is a sticking point.

Our Verdict - Balade à Paris Promenade à Montmartre Eau de Parfum
This is a divisive one. For some, it's a classy, classic floral with a modern twist, a bargain dupe for higher-end scents. For others, it's a cleaning product masquerading as perfume. Try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Taormina Orange Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, citrus-forward profile with decent but not overwhelming projection makes it ideal for casual wear and sports, as many reviewers highlight its 'summer in a bottle' feel. However, the varying performance reports mean it's less reliable for formal events where longevity is key and more appropriate for a relaxed office setting than a power meeting.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its classic-leaning floral profile makes it suitable for casual wear and daily use, and its tendency towards a skin scent after initial application means it won't overpower an office environment. However, its 'old-fashioned' perception by some may make it less ideal for modern formal settings or active sport use.
