Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - White Spirit
This one is truly divisive. Some find it a milky, ethereal dream, a unique blend of white florals and molecular magic. Others detect only a screeching, metallic chemical blast. Test before you invest, or you might regret it.

Our Verdict - Darin
This "for women" scent has an identity crisis, smelling undeniably masculine to many. It's a powerhouse for the price, but be warned: this is a big, woody lavender bomb that's definitely not for the faint of heart, or for those expecting delicate femininity.

Season and Occasion Fit

White Spirit

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its noted strength and sillage, combined with its distinct, sometimes polarising character, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its sophisticated and sensual facets are ideal for dating and more formal events, while its clean aspect can work casually.

Seasons

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its potent projection and distinct, robust aroma make it a bit much for office wear, but ideal for casual outings where you want to make a statement. The strong woody and musky accords, alongside community feedback on its 'manly' character, limit its versatility for formal events.
