Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love and Tears EDP
This is a fiercely divisive white floral, with some hailing it as a masterpiece of fresh jasmine and others finding it overwhelming or simply 'nice' but overpriced. If you're a devoted white floral fiend, it's worth a sniff.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Cry and Heart EDP
Cry and Heart reaches for By Kilian's Love and Tears, that sparkling green shower of white jasmine. Perfume Parlour gets the lush floral heart right but renders the green opening flatter and the jasmine a little more soapy, trading some of the original's effervescent lift for a sweeter, simpler bouquet.

Season and Occasion Fit

Love and Tears

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent sillage and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, where it could be distracting. However, its sophisticated floral character and impressive performance lend itself well to date nights and formal events, though it can also be dressed down for casual wear by some.

Cry and Heart

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The green florals and white jasmine feel freshest in spring and summer, evoking new leaves and bloom, and turn out of place in cold weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Clean and elegant, it works for daytime, the office and dates alike without being too heavy for any.
