Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Beyond Love Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous, if divisive, white floral bomb that demands attention. If you adore tuberose, you'll likely be head-over-heels for its creamy, tropical embrace. But be warned, its powerful sillage and longevity aren't for the faint of heart, making it too much for some.

Our Verdict - Gardenia Eau de Toilette
This Penhaligon's Gardenia is a divisive one. Many adore its classic, clean white floral profile, conjuring images of English garden parties and elegant nobility, but others find it a screechy, headache-inducing granny scent that's far too much for their liking. Definitely sample before you commit.

Season and Occasion Fit

Beyond Love Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage mean Beyond Love can be overpowering in confined spaces like an office. However, its opulent floral character and tropical undertones make it perfect for dates, formal events, or a glamorous casual outing, particularly in warmer weather.

Gardenia Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent white floral character and strong sillage, though appreciated by some, might be too much for an office setting. It shines more in formal events and dates, lending an elegant touch, and is rather too complex for casual wear or sport.
