Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pomelo EDP
A blast of grapefruit-like pomelo that feels sparkling, crisp, and utterly refreshing. Pomelo is a sunlit, optimistic citrus for those who want to smell clean, zesty, and subtly unique.
Favourite
Our Verdict - The Rose Extrait
This one's a quality rose, but it won't surprise you. If you're after a classic, slightly brooding take on the floral queen, and can overlook the price tag, you'll be well-pleased.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pomelo

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The ultra-bright citrus and fresh green character make this ideal for spring and summer, while its subtle woody base is too light for winter but works in the early fall.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual Sport

Its airy citrus brightness is perfect for office, casual, and active settings, but it may be too sheer and breezy for formal occasions. Its non-intrusive nature works well for day-to-day use.

The Rose

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent sillage and longevity, combined with a classic, dark rose profile, make it better suited for evenings and formal events rather than casual wear or the office. The luxurious scent is perfect for making a statement on a date or at a sophisticated gathering.
