Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - English Oak & Redcurrant EDC
Red currant sparkles over a bed of roasted oak, creating a crisp, woody freshness that feels both contemporary and quietly refined. Effortlessly wearable and balanced, it's a rare woody scent that feels bright and easygoing.

Our Verdict - Bella Belara EDP
Bella Belara is a divisive little number. For some, it's a 'Bellini in a bottle' and a sweet, juicy dream. For others, it's a 'sickening sweet' floral that lacks the fruitiness promised. Test before you commit, darling.

Season and Occasion Fit

English Oak & Redcurrant

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

The crisp red currant and green mandarin make this especially luminous for spring and early fall, while the fresh, lightly woody character remains vibrant but not heavy for summer. Its subtle warmth is less suited to winter's chill.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

The soft projection and clean, fresh-woody profile make it ideal for the office or casual daytime wear. It is understated and versatile, but a touch too delicate for formal events or high-energy sports.

Bella Belara

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its sweet and fruity nature makes it excellent for casual wear or dates, evoking a 'flirty' vibe commented on by many. Some find it strong, which might make it less suitable for a confined office environment, but others claim it's perfectly workplace appropriate.
