Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - In Black Eau de Parfum

This one is a real love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a smoky, boozy, black cherry dream; for others, a cloying, synthetic headache in a bottle. Blind buy at your peril - this dark beauty demands a test sniff.

Our Verdict - Eclat Eau de Parfum

A creamy, powdery floral with a good fruit kick, Oriflame's Eclat is often described as elegant and classy. Reviews are mixed on longevity and sillage, but there's a definite consensus on its sophisticated yet inoffensive character.

Season and Occasion Fit

In Black Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Its potent projection and unique, dark sweetness make In Black less suitable for polite office wear, but perfect for dates where you want to make a statement. The rich, almost boozy, and often polarising character isn't ideal for casual daytime use or sport, but could work for formal evening events.

Eclat Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive floral-powdery profile make it ideal for the office. While some find it suitable for evenings or special occasions due to its elegance, lower scores for sport reflect its sophisticated rather than energetic feel.
