Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - London Rain Wisteria & Violet EDP
This is a divisive one. You'll either get swept away by its 'violet candy' sweetness and nostalgic charm, or you'll be put off by its 'grape juice' opening and lack of warmth. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite the lovely name.

Our Verdict - Pure Silk EDC
A gentle, 'perfumey' perfume for easy everyday wear. Don't expect huge projection, but it's a solid, sophisticated cheapie for those who enjoy classic soapy florals with a muted depth. Best for quiet moments and personal enjoyment.

Season and Occasion Fit

London Rain Wisteria & Violet

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its soft, relatively subtle character and fresh floral notes make it suitable for casual wear or even the office, provided you don't over-spray. It's not assertive enough for formal events, and certainly not built for sport.

Pure Silk

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

Its gentle sillage and fleeting projection make it perfect for office wear or casual daytime use, where it won't offend. The classic, sophisticated floral profile can also work for dates, but it lacks the punch for formal events.
