Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Orange Blossom EDC

A dewy, radiant floral that captures the essence of spring in a bottle. Gossamer-light and naturally uplifting, this is the definitive clean orange blossom for those who crave understated elegance and daily freshness.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Aromatic Explosion EDP

Compiled from the house's own product notes (marketed as 'Floral Explosion'): bergamot and tea open into a jasmine-freesia-orchid heart, settling on centifolia rose and patchouli - a bold, blooming floral for warm-weather wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Orange Blossom

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

The radiant citrus and white floral composition is ideal for spring and summer, evoking sunlit gardens and open air. Lacks warmth and depth for cold winter days and does not have the coziness desired for autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual Sport

Its light, inoffensive character and gentle projection make it perfect for office and casual wear, as well as freshening up after sport. The lack of opulence and subtlety make it less suited to formal events or dramatic evenings out.

Aromatic Explosion

Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer

The bright bergamot-tea opening and heady floral heart are archetypal spring and summer wear, where the blooming character feels most natural.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

A rich, moderately-projecting floral best suited to dates and casual social occasions rather than the office, where its intensity might feel like too much.
